Abstract: A new one-parameter distribution is proposed for circular data based on wrapping. Most distributions constructed via wrapping do not yield elementary expressions for their mathematical properties. Yet the new distribution yields elementary expressions for all of its mathematical properties. Better fits of the new distribution over the three-parameter distribution due to Jones and Pewsey10 and six other wrapped distributions including four that have two parameters each are shown for at least two data sets. Better fits were assessed in terms of probability plots, density plots, values of Akaike information criterion and values of Bayesian information criterion.
