Skewness of Von mises distribution using two different methods #26

Description

@A-ep93

I want to use the circ_skewness code. Based on the code, there are two methods for calculating skewness:

Pewsey, Metrika, 2004
Statistical analysis of circular data, Fisher, p. 34

However, it seems the results are very different from each other. For instance, when I test for a Von Mises distribution (which should have a skewness of 0), the first method returns a skewness of zero while the second method returns a skewness of the order of thousands. What is causing this problem?
