Description
Presents new and up-dated material on both the underlying theory and the practical methodology of directional statistics, helping the reader to utilise and develop the techniques appropriate to their work. The book is divided into three parts. The first part concentrates on statistics on the circle. Topics covered include tests of uniformity, tests of good-of-fit, inference on von Mises distributions and non-parametric methods. The second part considers statistics on spheres of arbitrary dimension, and includes a detailed account of inference on the main distributions on spheres. Recent material on correlation, regression time series, robust techniques, bootstrap methods, density estimation and curve fitting is presented. The third part considers statistics on more general sample spaces, in particular rotation groups, Stiefel manifolds, Grassmann manifolds and complex projective spaces. Shape analysis is considered from the perspective of directional statistics.
Written by leading authors in the field, this text will be invaluable not only to researchers in probability and statistics interested in the latest developments in directional statistics, but also to practitioners and researchers in many scientific fields, including astronomy, biology, computer vision, earth sciences and image analysis.

Reviews / Votes
"This book provides essential material that is very timely and interesting and provides an excellent treatise on the theory, methodology, and applications of directional and axial statistics." (Technometrics, November 2008) "...written as a drastic revision and major extension to Statistics of Directional Data...definitive reference on this subject...for many years." (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 20, No. 3, December 2000) "The text will be an invaluable source of reference for researchers and practitioners alike working with directional data..." (The Statistician, Vol. 50, 2001) "...a highly valuable and nicely written contribution" (Statistics and Decisions, Vol 19/2, 2001) "In coverage and presentation, the current book dominates?the starting place for anyone wanting to make inferences using directional data or wishing to pursue research in this area." (Mathematical Reviews, 2003b)More details
