On the generalized circular projected Cauchy distribution

Abstract

\cite{tsagris2025a} proposed the generalized circular projected Cauchy distribution, whose special case is the wrapped Cauchy distribution. In this paper we first derive the relationship with the wrapped Cauchy distribution and we propose a log-likelihood ratio test for the equality of two angular means, without assuming equality of thew concentration parameters. Simulation studies illustrate the performance of the test when one falsely assumes that the true underlying distribution is the wrapped Cauchy distribution.
