Abstract For structural comparisons of paired prokaryotic genomes, an important topic in
synthetic and evolutionary biology, the locations of shared orthologous genes (henceforth
orthologs) are observed as binned data. This and other data, e.g., wind directions recorded
at monitoring sites and intensive care unit arrival times on the 24-hour clock, are counted
in binned circular arcs, thus modeling them by discrete circular distributions (DCDs) is
required. We propose a novel method to construct a DCD from a base continuous circular
distribution (CCD). The probability mass function is defined to take the normalized values
of the probability density function at some pre-fixed… More >
