Multi-sample tests for the Fisher distribution for directions

SUMMARY Fisher (1953) introduced a unimodal distribution for vectors denoting directions in three dimensions. Exact and approximate tests are given for the equality of modal vectors or of concentration parameters, for two or more samples drawn from the Fisher distribution.
