Density of the Wood bimodal distribution on the sphere: Density of the Wood bimodal distribution on the sphere

Description

Density of the Wood bimodal distribution on the sphere.

Usage

dwood(y, param, logden = FALSE)

Value

A vector with the (log) density values of y.

Arguments

y

A matrix containing two columns. The first one is the latitude and the second is the longitude, both expressed in degrees.

param

A vector with the 5 parameters, in the order they are returned by the wood.mle function. That is, \((\gamma, \delta, \alpha, \beta, \kappa)\).

logden

If you the logarithm of the density values set this to TRUE.
