Talk:Wrapped distribution

Multivariate?

As yet, no inducation of how a multivariate wrapped distribution (mentioned in the lead) is constructed. Melcombe (talk) 09:46, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The formula currently proposed as a multivariate extension

p_{w}({\vec {\theta }})=\sum _{k_{1},...,k_{F}=-\infty }^{\infty }{p({\vec {\theta }}+2\pi k_{1}\mathbf {e} _{1}+\dots +2\pi k_{F}\mathbf {e} _{F})}

defines a distribution on the $n$ -dimensional torus, not on the $n$ -sphere. Compare with formula (1.1) in Hartman & Watson, ""Normal" distribution functions on spheres and the modified Bessel functions", Annals of Probability, 1974, Vol. 2, No. 4, 593-60.
