Non-invariance of circular turning-angle distributions under sub-sampling
Non-invariance of circular turning-angle distributions under sub-sampling
Let be a circular distribution, let denote the turning-angle distribution obtained after sub-sampling every steps, and let be the step-length distribution. Non-invariance conjecture. There is no circular distribution , other than the circular uniform distribution, such that
where is an integer, regardless of the step-length distribution . This conjecture seeks a precise characterization of how sub-sampling changes turning-angle distributions in correlated random walks; the preceding results establish related effects for specific cases, while the general claim remains unresolved.
