est.kappa

Computes the maximum likelihood estimate of \(\kappa\), the concentration
parameter of a von Mises distribution, given a set of angular measurements.

Models the direction of the maximum horizontal stress using
relative plate motion parameters. Statistical algorithms to evaluate
the modeling results compared with the observed data. Provides plots
to visualize the results. Methods described in Stephan et al. (2023)
