Introduction to circular data
Authors
Abstract:
In many diverse scientific fields, the measurements are directions. For instance, a biologist may be measuring the direction of flight of a bird or the orientation of an animal. A series of such observations is called ”directional data”. Since a direction has no magnitude, these can be conveniently represented as points on the circumference of a unit circle centered at the origin or as unit vectors connecting the origin to these points. Because of this circular representation, such observations are also called circular data. In this paper, circular data will be introduced at first and then it is explained how to calculate the mean direction, dispersion and higher moments. The solutions to many directional data problems are often not obtainable in simple closed analytical forms. Therefore, computer softwares is essential to use these methods. At the end of this paper, the CircStat’s package has been used to analyze data sets in R and Matlab softwares.

One of the most important problem in any statistical analysis is the existence of unexpected observations. Some observations are not a part of the study and are known as outliers. Studies have shown that the outliers affect to the performance of statistical standard methods in models and predictions. The point of this work is to provide a couple of statistical package in R software to identi...

Industry is related to sustainable effects. Green industry is linked to a circular economy. There is a huge growth and wealth of population. This means countries are interested in reducing inefficiencies in economy. The circular economy is a good way to resolve this. The object of circular economy is cleaner production. For example, to reduce toxic materials would thereby mean creating mo...
