Directional mean in python

      No Comments on Directional mean in python

Simple script to calculate circular / directional mean of some angular data. Samples is assumed to be in range of <0,2PI>.

To get more information about mean of circular quantities, you can read at wikipedia and more generally about directional statistics.

 

However rather than using this consider using scipy.stats.circmean
