von Mises distribution(冯·米赛斯分布)的随机模拟
与参数估计的笔记（一）
1.von Mises distribution概述
在概率论和方向统计中，von-Mises 分布（也称为圆形正态分布或 Tikhonov 分布）是圆上的连续概率分布。 它是环绕正态分布的近似值，它是正态分布的循环模拟。 圆上的自由扩散角 θ 是一个包裹的正态分布随机变量，其展开方差随时间线性增长。 另一方面，von-Mises 分布是谐波势中圆上漂移和扩散过程的平稳分布，即具有优选方向。 von-Mises 分布是指定第一个圆形矩的实部和虚部时圆形数据的最大熵分布。 von-Mises 分布是 von Mises-Fisher 分布在 N 维球面上的一个特例（如图1所示）。
图1 von Mises Distribution 与 Fisher Distribution 的关系图
1.1 von Mises分布的定义
对于角度x的von Mises分布的概率密度PDF由下式给出：
\[f\left( {x\left| {\mu ,\kappa } \right.} \right) = \frac{{{e^{\kappa \cos \left( {x - \mu } \right)}}}}{{2\pi {I_0}\left( \kappa \right)}}
\]
\({{I_0}\left( \kappa \right)}\) 为零阶修正贝塞尔公式。其中参数 $\mu $ 和\(\kappa\)可以近似理解为正态分布的\({{N}\left( \mu ,\delta \right)}\)中的均值\(\mu\)和标准差\(\delta\)
-
\(\mu\) 其中是衡量方位角\(x\)的平均值，整个分布的平均体现；
-
\(\kappa\) 其中是衡量方位角\({x}\)的集中程度\(\left(\kappa>0 \right)\)
当 \(\kappa\)趋近于零，分布足够分散，不足以满足角度\(x\)均值的存在性，方位角方向满足，此时的PDF满足均匀分布，及
\[f\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}
\]
当\(\kappa\)趋近于无穷大时，方位角的集中程度很高，其近似于均值为\(\mu\), 方差为\(\frac{1}{\kappa}\)的高斯分布：
\[f\left( x \right) \approx \frac{{\sqrt \kappa }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }}\exp \left( { - \frac{{\kappa {{\left( {x - \mu } \right)}^2}}}{2}} \right)
\]
其von-Mises分布的PDF可以写成如下贝塞尔函数的级数序列：
\[f(x\mid \mu ,\kappa )={\frac {1}{2\pi }}\left(1+{\frac {2}{I_{0}(\kappa )}}\sum _{j=1}^{\infty }I_{j}(\kappa )\cos[j(x-\mu )]\right)
\]
其中 \(I_{j}(\kappa )\)是\(j\)阶改进的贝塞尔函数。

其中CDF的公式我们无法获取解析解，但可以对其Bessel函数展开形式进行积分得到其数值解得到如下式表达：
\[\Phi (x\mid \mu ,\kappa )=\int f(t\mid \mu ,\kappa )\,dt={\frac {1}{2\pi }}\left(x+{\frac {2}{I_{0}(\kappa )}}\sum _{j=1}^{\infty }I_{j}(\kappa ){\frac {\sin[j(x-\mu )]}{j}}\right).
\]
其CDF分布如下图表示：

1.2 von Mises 分布的随机模拟代码（matlab）
其中模拟与估计代码来源于Philipp Berens 和 Marc J. Velasco的Circular Statistics Toolbox
function alpha = circ_vmrnd(theta, kappa, n)
% alpha = circ_vmrnd(theta, kappa, n)
% Simulates n random angles from a von Mises distribution, with preferred
% direction thetahat and concentration parameter kappa.
%
% Input:
% [theta preferred direction, default is 0]
% [kappa width, default is 1]
% [n number of samples, default is 10]
%
% If n is a vector with two entries (e.g. [2 10]), the function creates
% a matrix output with the respective dimensionality.
