IntrinsicMean: Finding Intrinsic Mean

In spherepc: Spherical Principal Curves

Description

This function calculates the intrinsic mean of data on sphere.

Usage

IntrinsicMean(data, weights = rep(1, nrow(data)), thres = 1e-5)

Arguments

data	matrix or data frame consisting of spatial locations with two columns. Each row represents longitude and latitude (denoted by degrees).
weights	vector of weights.
thres	threshold of the stopping conditions.

Details

This function calculates the intrinsic mean of data. The intrinsic mean is found by the gradient descent algorithm, which works well if the data is well-localized. In the case of spheres, if data is contained in a hemisphere, then the algorithm converges.

Value

two-dimensional vector.
