ABSTRACT
The cylcop package extends the copula package to allow modeling of correlated circular-linear random variables using copulae that are symmetric in the circular dimension. We present and derive several new circular-linear copulae with this property and demonstrate how they can be implemented in the cylcop package to model animal movements in discrete time. The package contains methods for estimating copulae parameters, plotting probability density and cumulative distribution functions, and simulating data.
