Mean circular error

1	MCE(y,Y,n)

y

observed values of the response variable are calculated based on model

y_i=α+β x_i+ε_i(mod 2π) (i=1,2,...,n). here n is sample size. random error

having a VonMises distribution with circular mean 0 and concentration

parameter k.

Y

the estimeted value of y under model y_i=α+β x_i+ε_i(mod 2π) (i=1,2,...,n).

n

the sample size

This function may be considered as a type of arithmetic mean which is not robust to the existence of outlier.thus it can be used to detect the possible outliers in the circular regression.

Number, that is mean circular error.
