Circular Sample Median and deviation

Description

Sample median direction for a vector of circular data

Usage

circular_sample_median(x, axial = TRUE, na.rm = TRUE)

circular_sample_median_deviation(x, axial = TRUE, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

`x`	numeric vector. Values in degrees.
`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
