  text: In this paper, we present libDirectional, a MATLAB library for directional
    statistics and directional estimation. It supports a variety of commonly used
    distributions on the unit circle, such as the von Mises, wrapped normal, and wrapped
    Cauchy distributions. Furthermore, various distributions on higher-dimensional
    manifolds such as the unit hypersphere and the hypertorus are available. Based
    on these distributions, several recursive filtering algorithms in libDirectional
    allow estimation on these manifolds. The functionality is implemented in a clear,
    well-documented, and object-oriented structure that is both easy to use and easy
    to extend.
