Circular mean — circ_mean_rad • circhelp

Circular mean

circ_mean_rad(x, na.rm = F)

circ_mean_180(x, na.rm = F)

circ_mean_360(x, na.rm = F)

Arguments

x: vector of values
na.rm: a logical value indicating whether NA values should be removed before the computation proceeds

Value

mean of values in the vector

Functions

circ_mean_rad(): circular mean in 2pi space
circ_mean_180(): circular mean in 180° space (e.g., line orientation)
circ_mean_360(): circular mean in 360° space

Examples

x <- runif(1000,-pi,pi)
mean(x)
#> [1] 0.006818188
circ_mean_rad(x)
#> [1] 0.1518408
