A test for testing the equality of the concentration parameter among g samples, where g >= 2 for ciruclar data

Description

Usage

conc.test(u, ina, rads = FALSE)

Arguments

u	A numeric vector containing the values of all samples.
ina	A numerical variable or factor indicating the groups of each value.
rads	If the data are in radians this should be TRUE and FALSE otherwise.
