Rice Distribution
Also known as the Rician Distribution, the Rice distribution is the probability distribution of the absolute value of a Circular Bivariate Normal random variable with potentially non-zero mean.
PDF
\(\frac{x}{\sigma^2}\exp\left(\frac{-(x^2+\nu^2)}
{2\sigma^2}\right)I_0\left(\frac{x\nu}{\sigma^2}\right)\)
CDF
\(1-Q_1\left(\frac{\nu}{\sigma },\frac{x}{\sigma }\right)\)
Mean
\(\sigma \sqrt{\pi/2}\,\,L_{1/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2)\)
Variance
\(2\sigma^2+\nu^2-\frac{\pi\sigma^2}{2}L_{1/2}^2\left(\frac{-\nu^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)\)
Support
x ∈ [0, +∞)
Moments
The first few raw moments are:
\[\mu_1^'= \sigma \sqrt{\pi/2}\,\,L_{1/2}(-\nu^2/2\sigma^2)\] \[\mu_2^'= 2\sigma^2+\nu^2\,\]
