simdd:Simulation of Fisher Bingham and Related Directional
Distributions
Simulation methods for the Fisher Bingham distribution on the unit sphere, the matrix Bingham distribution on a Grassmann
manifold, the matrix Fisher distribution on SO(3), and the
bivariate von Mises sine model on the torus. The methods use an
acceptance/rejection simulation algorithm for the Bingham
distribution and are described fully by Kent, Ganeiber and
Mardia (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1390468>. These
methods supersede earlier MCMC simulation methods and are more
general than earlier simulation methods. The methods can be
slower in specific situations where there are existing non-MCMC
simulation methods (see Section 8 of Kent, Ganeiber and Mardia
(2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1390468> for further
details).
