Dear List, I have circular data comprising direction and size for a number of observations. I wish to calculate statistics such as the mean direction and concentration for these data. I note that the CircStats package only deals with angular data (i.e. "Each observation is treated as a unit vector or a point on the unit circle". There appears to be no facility for weighting observations by vector size.
My solution would be to create a data set of angles in which my observations are repeated in proportion to the vector size, but this would lead to very large data sets. Does anyone have a better solution to this problem? Many thanks, Dan Bebber ____________________________ Dr. Daniel P.
