Circular Mean Difference

Description

Circular Mean Difference

Usage

circular_mean_difference(x, w = NULL, axial = TRUE, na.rm = TRUE)

circular_mean_difference_alt(x, w = NULL, axial = TRUE, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x	numeric vector. Values in degrees.
w	(optional) Weights. A vector of positive numbers and of the same length as x.
axial	logical. Whether the data are axial, i.e. pi-periodical (TRUE, the default) or directional, i.e. 2 \pi-periodical (FALSE).
na.rm	logical value indicating whether NA values in x should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

Value

numeric
