New approximations to the distribution of certain angular statistics

SUMMARY This paper provides improved normal approximations to the von Mises distribution. New adjustments for certain chi-squared approximations to the distributions of the two useful angular statistics X and R are introduced. These are compared with the existing adjustments.
