Central Limit Theorem on the Circle

462 Views Asked by At

I am interested in a circular equivalent to the classical CLT. Is there a necessary and sufficient condition telling when a normalized sum of circular distributed random variables converges to a WrappedNormal distributed random variable? That is, what conditions do circular i.i.d. random vectors $X_i$ have to satisfy in order to ensure $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \mod 2\pi$$ converges to a WrappedNormal distributed random variable. Is there a similar result for (hyper-)spheres?
