Polar Distribution




:p(\phi).\,

It is usually graphically represented as a closed Curve

:(x,y) = (r\cos\phi, \, r\sin\phi) ,

where the radius r equals the probability p.


EXAMPLE


By computing the probability distribution of angles along a handwritten ink trace,
a lobe-shaped polar distribution emerges. The main direction of the lobe in the
first quadrant corresponds to the ).
