For Tukey's method only; An optionnal vector of the same length as P that contains the Tukey depth of each data. The calculation of the depth is then skipped and the provided values are used instead. |

Calculates shperical medians for data on the circle only. The input must be a list of angles in radians between 0 and 2π (polar coordinates). If method="Tukey"
, the Tukey median is returned. If method="Circular"
, the circular median (the point minimizing the average distance based on arccosine) is returned.
A numeric value between 0 and 2π giving the median in polar coordinate.
