Description
Performs Rao's Spacing Test of uniformity.
Usage
1
rao.spacing(x, alpha=0, rad=TRUE)
Arguments
x
numeric vector of angular data measured in degrees.
alpha
numeric value specifying the significance level of the test. The default value is 0, in which case, a range for the p-value will be returned. Valid significance levels are 0.10, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001.
rad
logical value. If true, data will be assumed to be measured radians. If false, data will be assumed to be measured in degrees.
Details
If alpha is specified, critical values are determined from a table of simulated critical points (see reference below). If alpha is not specified, a range for the p-value is determined using the table of simulated critical points.
Value
NULL
Note
The Rao's Spacing Test is performed, and the results are written to the screen.
