Directional (version 4.0)

A test for testing the equality of the concentration parameters for ciruclar data: A test for testing the equality of the concentration parameter among g samples, where g >= 2 for ciruclar data

Description

A test for testing the equality of the concentration parameter among g samples, where g >= 2 for ciruclar data. It is a tangential approach.

Usage

tang.conc(u, ina, rads = FALSE)

Arguments

u

A numeric vector containing the values of all samples.

ina

A numerical variable or factor indicating the groups of each value.

rads

If the data are in radians this should be TRUE and FALSE otherwise.

Value

A vector including:

test

The value of the test statistic.

p-value

The p-value of the test.

Details

This test works for circular data.
