Shrnutí:Directional statistical distributions can be used to model a wide range of industrial and phenomena. Finite mixtures of circular normal von Mises (MvM) distributions have been used to represent directional data from various domains including energy industry, medical science, and information retrieval. This paper presents the probabilisticmodeling of the prevailing wind directions. Expectation-maximization algorithm (EM algorithm) is employed to evaluate unknown parameters of MvM distribution. The evaluation is carried out using real-world data sets describing annual wind direction at St. John's airport in Newfoundland, Canada. Experimental results show that EM algorithm is able to find good model parameters corresponding to input data. However, because the termination criterion χ 2 -function converges to 335, the resulting distribution cannot pass Pearson's test of goodness of fit.
