OverviewAngular Central Gaussian DistributionDefinition and propertiesDensity functionSources
In the special case,, the projected normal distribution, with is known as the angular central Gaussian (ACG) and in this case, the density function can be obtained in closed form as a function of Cartesian coordinates. Let and project radially: so that (the unit hypersphere). We write, which as explained above, at, has density: where the integral can be solved by a change of variables and then using the standard definition of the
