Recent advances in directional statistics

A Pewsey, E García-Portugués - Test, 2021 - Springer
Mainstream statistical methodology is generally applicable to data observed in Euclidean
space. There are, however, numerous contexts of considerable scientific interest in which …

A multivariate hidden Markov model for the identification of sea regimes from incomplete skewed and circular time series

J Bulla, F Lagona, A Maruotti, M Picone - Journal of Agricultural, Biological …, 2012 - Springer
The identification of sea regimes from environmental multivariate times series is complicated
by the mixed linear–circular support of the data, by the occurrence of missing values, by the …

Skew mixture models for loss distributions: a Bayesian approach

M Bernardi, A Maruotti, L Petrella - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2012 - Elsevier
The derivation of loss distribution from insurance data is a very interesting research topic but
at the same time not an easy task. To find an analytic solution to the loss distribution may be …

A hidden Markov model for the analysis of cylindrical time series

F Lagona, M Picone, A Maruotti - Environmetrics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
A new hidden Markov model is proposed for the analysis of cylindrical time series, that is,
bivariate time series of intensities and angles. It allows us to segment cylindrical time series …

Fast optimal circular clustering and applications on round genomes

T Debnath, M Song - IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Round genomes are found in bacteria, plant chloroplasts, and mitochondria. Genetic or
epigenetic marks can present biologically interesting clusters along a circular genome. The …

Bayesian hidden Markov modelling using circular‐linear general projected normal distribution

G Mastrantonio, A Maruotti, G Jona‐Lasinio - Environmetrics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We introduce a multivariate hidden Markov model to jointly cluster time‐series observations
with different support, that is, circular and linear. Relying on the general projected normal …

Identifying density‐based local outliers in medical multivariate circular data

AH Abuzaid - Statistics in medicine, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
This article is considered to be the first to deal with the problem of outlier‐detection in
multivariate circular data. The proposed algorithm is an extension of the Local Outlier Factor …

Regression analysis of correlated circular data based on the multivariate von Mises distribution

F Lagona - Environmental and ecological statistics, 2016 - Springer
A regression model for correlated circular data is proposed by assuming that samples of
angular measurements are drawn from a multivariate von Mises distribution with mean and …

Analyzing longitudinal circular data by projected normal models: a semi-parametric approach based on finite mixture models

A Maruotti - Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2016 - Springer
The analysis of circular data has been recently the focus of a wide range of literature, with
the general objective of providing reliable parameter estimates in the presence of …

CircSpaceTime: an R package for spatial and spatio-temporal modelling of circular data

G Jona Lasinio, M Santoro… - Journal of Statistical …, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
CircSpaceTime is the only R package, currently available, that implements Bayesian models
for spatial and spatio-temporal interpolation of circular data. Such data are often found in …
