This paper provides tests in connexion with the von Mises distribution for the circle. The tests are for the concentration parameter and the modal vector of the distribution; they may be adapted to give confidence intervals, and may also be used for a bimodal distribution. New approximations are given for the distributions of the likelihood ratio statistics on which the tests depend.
