Abstract

In this note we provide a simple approximation theory motivation for the circular kernel density estimation and further explore the usefulness of the wrapped Cauchy kernel in this context. It is seen that the wrapped Cauchy kernel appears as a natural candidate in connection to orthogonal series density estimation on a unit circle. This adds further weight to the considerable role of the wrapped Cauchy in circular statistics.
