We discuss theoretical properties of the Wrapped Cauchy (WC) kernel. In this paper, we show that the WC kernel has the convergent rate of O(n−2/3) and holds the asymptotic normality. The rate of the WC kernel is not better than the rate O(n−4/5) of the von Mises (VM) kernel. However, some numerical experiments show the better behavior of the WC kernel rather than the VM kernel under the condition of the multimodality and/or the heavy tail.
