Abstract: Greenwood and Durand (1955) have expressed the distribution function (d.f.) of the length of N random unit vectors for a von Mises population as a double integral. This double integral is simplified herein by calculating analytically one of the integrals. Hence a numerical calculation for large parameter values now becomes possible.
