RT Generic T1 Circular Bernstein polynomial distributions A1 Carnicero, José Antonio A1 Wiper, Michael Peter A1 Ausín Olivera, María Concepción A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística, AB This paper introduces a new non-parametric approach to the modeling of circular data, basedon the use of Bernstein polynomial densities which generalizes the standard Bernsteinpolynomial model to account for the specific characteristics of circular data. It is shown that thetrigonometric moments of the proposed circular Bernstein polynomial distribution can all bederived in closed form. We comment on how to fit the Bernstein polynomial densityapproximation to a sample of data and illustrate our approach with a real data example.
