### Function Reference: `vmpdf`

statistics: y = vmpdf (x, mu, k)

Von Mises probability density function (PDF).

For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the von Mises distribution with location parameter mu and concentration parameter k on the interval [-pi, pi]. The size of y is the common size of x, mu, and k. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

Further information about the von Mises distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_distribution

### Example: 1

     ## Plot various PDFs from the von Mises distribution
     x1 = [-pi:0.1:pi];
     y1 = vmpdf (x1, 0, 0.5);
     y2 = vmpdf (x1, 0, 1);
     y3 = vmpdf (x1, 0, 2);
     y4 = vmpdf (x1, 0, 4);
     plot (x1, y1, "-r", x1, y2, "-g", x1, y3, "-b", x1, y4, "-c")
     grid on
     xlim ([-pi, pi])
     ylim ([0, 0.8])
     legend ({"μ = 0, k = 0.5", "μ = 0, k = 1", ...
              "μ = 0, k = 2", "μ = 0, k = 4"}, "location", "northwest")
