The cylcop package extends the copula package to allow modeling of correlated circular-linear random variables using copulae that are symmetric in the circular dimension. We present and derive several new circular-linear copulae with this property and demonstrate how they can be implemented in the cylcop package to model animal movements in discrete time. The package contains methods for estimating copulae parameters, plotting probability density and cumulative distribution functions, and simulating data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
