| description | This study focuses on the construction of confidence interval for parameters and analysis of
missing values for circular variables. The scope of the study is the von Mises distribution
where it is also known as circular normal distribution. It is worthwhile to note that statistical
theories for straight line and circle are different from one to another because the circle is a
closed curve but line is not. The study is on the construction of the confidence interval (CI)
for the concentration parameter of von Mises distribution. Here, the proposed methods is
CI based on calibration bootstrap and compared with the present methods to achieve the
best confidence interval for the concentration parameter. The present methods involve in
the study are CI based on percentile bootstrap, CI based on asymptotic distribution of ˆ _
and CI based on bootstrap-t. The coverage probability and expected length values from
each method are examined. The simulation study shows that CI based on the calibration
bootstrap is good in terms of coverage probability with reasonable expected length. Next,
the study is on the derivation of a new statistic based on circular distance for circular
data. From the simulation study, the new statistic is approximated to the chi-squared
distribution for large concentration parameter, _. Based on the new statistic, a CI for the
concentration parameter is constructed as well. Numerical results suggest the CI based
on 32nd percentile gives the most efficient performance. The final part of the study is
analysing the missing values for the circular variables. The simulated data are assigned to
six different percentages of missing values. Then, the missing data are imputed with two
methods; mean imputation and bootstrap-t. Three indicators namely mean, estimate bias
(EB) and estimate root mean square error (ERMSE) are used to measure the performance of concentration parameter for each method. Through the simulation study, we observe
that the bootstrap-t method performs better than the other method to impute missing values.
For illustration, real data consisting of data in angle form found in literature are used.
