A text that focuses on methods of deriving probability distributions on smooth manifolds popular in applied research
Probability Distributions for Directional Data on Smooth Manifolds is a comprehensive text that reviews real-life scientific problems that encounter non-linear data. The authors―noted experts on the topic―present methods for developing distributions on a circle and show how such methods are generalized for other manifolds. In addition, the book explores new methods unique to other manifolds such as disc and hyperdisc.
Designed to be an accessible resource, the book explores the methods from the beginning for a simple manifold and clearly demonstrates how these unfold and generalize to more complicated manifolds. Rather than treating one distribution at a time, the authors develop the generalizations of the methods of derivations. As the outcomes of these generalizations are reviewed, new distributions are presented. In addition, the book provides several illustrative, real-life examples, which not only attest to the ongoing usefulness of these important distributions but can help visualize other modern-day areas of the applications. This important resource:
- Offers a compilation of the probability distributions of the various manifolds presented
- Covers many emerging distributions and topics which have not been covered in any book to date
- Presents discussions on axial distributions, distributions on the sphere, hemi-sphere and hyper-sphere, and distributions on the (ring) torus and hyper-torus
- Contains information on distributions on the (vertical) cylinder and hyper-cylinder, distributions on the disc and hyper-disc, isotropy and goodness of fit tests, and mathematical formulae
Written for students of mathematics and statistics and theoretical researchers, Probability Distributions for Directional Data on Smooth Manifolds, the first of its kind, offers a groundbreaking and authoritative guide to the topic.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
