Description¶
The fiber density distribution type von-Mises-3d models a transversely isotropic 3D distribution 1. It corresponds to
\[
R\left(\mathbf{n}\right)=\frac{1}{\pi}\sqrt{\frac{b}{2\pi}}\frac{\exp\left(2bn_{1}^{2}\right)}{\mbox{erfi}\left(\sqrt{2b}\right)}\,,
\]
where \(\left(n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}\right)\) are the components of \(\mathbf{n}\) in the local Cartesian basis \(\left\{ \mathbf{e}_{1},\mathbf{e}_{2},\mathbf{e}_{3}\right\}\) of each element of the global basis by default; and b is the concentration parameter (\(b>0\)).
