By employing Husimi quasiprobability distributions, we show that a bounded portion of an unbounded phase space induces a finite effective dimension in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We compare our general expressions with numerical…

We use Stein characterizations to obtain new moment-type estimators for the parameters of three classical spherical distributions (namely the Fisher-Bingham, the von Mises-Fisher, and the Watson distributions) in the i.i.d. case. This leads…
