Hello!
My name is Vladislav Iakovlev. I am a master student of Department of
Applied Math, HSE University, Moscow, Russia. I have never contributed to
open source projects, but I would be happy to start it with SciPy.
I noticed that existing functionality for circular statistics is
insufficient. So, I want to suggest an idea for GSoC: implement it to
scipy.stats. My plan is to do it through the next steps:
1) Develop the class rv_circular, analogous to rv_continuous adjusted
to circular statistic functions.
2) Develop derived classes for circular distributions.
3) Develop point estimations and statistical tests functions.
During the summer, I assume to implement materials from chapters 1-8 of the
book “MARDIA, K. V. AND JUPP , P. E. (2000), Directional Statistics, John
Wiley”, documentation and unit tests for it.
Is this idea interesting for the Community? I’m glad to any feedback.
This may be a little crazy, but would it be possible to wait for
parameterized dtypes and create a circular dtype to handle all this
automagically?
