It provides a detailed overview and analysis of recent results that can help both researchers and practitioners. Knowledge of multivariate statistics eases the reading but is not mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe field of directional statistics has received a lot of attention over the past two decades, due to new demands from domains such as life sciences or machine learning, to the availability of massive data sets requiring adapted statistical techniques, and to technological advances. This book covers important progresses in distribution theory, high-dimensional statistics, kernel density estimation, efficient inference on directional supports, and computational and graphical methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristophe Ley\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor of mathematical statistics at Ghent University. His research interests include semi-parametrically efficient inference, flexible modeling, directional statistics and the study of asymptotic approximations via Stein's Method.
