Asymptotic Distribution of the Estimator for Rotation in Orientation-Shift Model on the Sphere

  • Published : 1999.04.30

Abstract

An orientation-shift model for unit random vectors in $R^3$ is defined. The Euler angles are introduced to parametrize orientation-shifts and their moment estimators are found. Through the analytic perturbation method, the asymptotic distributions of the estimators are obtained.
