Does wind shape vegetation stripes? A copula-based mixture model for axial and circular data

    Motivated by a case study of vegetation patterns, we introduce a mixture model with concomitant variables to examine the association between the orientation of vegetation stripes and wind direction.  The proposal uses a novel copula-based bivariate distribution for mixed axial and circular observations. It provides a parsimonious and computationally tractable approach to examining the dependence of two environmental variables observed in a complex manifold.  Joint work with Francesco Lagona, RomaTRE University . Marco Mingione, Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche, Roma Tre.   In allegato la locandina.
