Wrapped normal distribution

A wrapped normal distribution is a type of probability distribution. It's a bit like a normal (or “bell-shaped”) distribution, but with an added twist. Instead of the values in the distribution going on and on in both directions (to infinity), they wrap around so that the highest value connects with the lowest value. This means that it looks like a ring or an endless loop instead of a bell shape. The wrapped normal distribution is often used when you need to measure values in a circular manner, such as angles or directions.
