Projected normal distribution: Measurement, Density function & Angular Central Gaussian Distribution

In directional statistics, the projected normal distribution (also known as offset normal distribution, angular normal distribution or angular Gaussian distribution) is a probability distribution over directions that describes the radial projection of a random variable with n-variate normal distribution over the unit (n-1)-sphere.
