Interpolation of azimuth values
Hello
I will make an interpolation of data which represents azimuth direction
( angle from north in clockwise direction) values.
But there is a problem.
Say, for instance, while 1 and 359 indicate somewhat same direction,
interpolation puts values
in the range from 1 to 359. What can I do to solve the problem ?
Anything you offer ?
thanks in advance

Multilevel modeling of animal behavior

Commun. H. 54, 367-374.

+ A specific example from my research:+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cold stressed cows maximize surface area exposed to the sun. Therefore on cold sunny days they will increasingly orient
to a 90o angle to the sun's azimuth. We want to build a regression model orientation vs. temperature and wind, but cows
in a group all walk (and therefore orient) more or less in the same direction.
Methods
A small herd of twelve cows (ID) was observed in the field, and individual orientations (orid) noted

Output from as.windrose() in oce package baffles me
...side of each sector interval be open, to
include values such as my 45 in the example? Also, why does the angle
180 in my input apparently not result in a count of 1 for the output for
180? The $data$theta value of 180 refers to a sector centered at 180
whose angle is 90, correct?

Calculating distance between longitude,latitude of 2 points
Hi all,
I would like to know a way of calculating the distance between 2 points when
I already have the longitude and latitude of the points.
For example :
Point 1 : 52? 9'54.00"N 4?25'8.40"E
Point 2 : 52?27'46.80"N 4?33'18.00"E
Distance between point 1 and point in km ....
Is there any functions already available for this ?
Any help will be much

code to convert 3D geographical coordinates to Cartesian?
...this using
1. a spherical-to-Cartesian conversion like pracma::sph2cart(tpr)
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pracma/
2. a geographical-to-spherical conversion. This seems to involve (in
roughly increasing order of difficulty or error-prone-ness)
* converting longitude (units=?) to an azimuthal angle (units=rad)
* converting latitude (units=?) to a polar angle (aka inclination)
(units=rad)
* converting elevation (usually, distance above mean sea level) to
radial distance (i.e., distance from earth center). Ideally this
should be done using a user-chosen coordinate reference syst...

Ambisonics Proposal summary.
...- do we have any access to _other_ header metadata which might allow
us to offer a simpler channel map (or are we limited to Mapping = 1?)
Lastly, and optionally:
- we would ideally like to include a "producer's suggestion for best
stereo decode". This would be in the form of angle/azimuth for the 3
axis ... and would act as a 'hint' for ambisonic aware players to
offer a stereo decode recommended by the producer. (this kind of thing
is really leveraging the power of ambisonics).
We originally thought that this could be done in the comment headers,
but it has been suggested...

"Maps in R"
...th a projection,
get locations with locator(), and then inverse-project them to get
back to lat-long coordinates.
That's all the good news. The bad news is that there's a few problems
here and there, mainly related to lines that cross the +180/-180
boundary
and to certain projections - an azimuthal projection (i.e. as you would
see the earth from space) of the world map doesn't do hidden-line
removal of the far side, it just crashes!
So I'm looking for interested parties to have a play with the code.
Preferably people with some experience of the S/Splus maps library, or

ggplot questions
...m^2 or 1.13m radius, 4m^2), these are the label
data points plotted below, later to have the 1m^2 or 4m^2 rplt outline
added.
Later, each individual tree will be plotted across each oplt in the
views below and each rplt in expanded views.
All locations (rplt centers, tree positions) are recorded as azimuth and
distance from their respective plot centers, hence my inclination to use
polar coordinates.
Thanx, DaveT.

Solve for x in Ax=B with vectors, not matrices
Hello R-helpers,
What I have: I am working with vectors not matrice:
#Basic equations
A <-c(-20,-9,-2)
x <-c(0.17,0.22,0.61)
B <- crossprod(A,x)
# R matrix multiplication works with vectors
A%*%x==B # Is true...
Question: If x is unknown and A and B are known, how do I solve for x in R?
solve(A,B) won't work because A is not a square matrix
solve(A,B)
Error in solve.default(A,

LLVM is getting faster, April edition
...arriers to ongoing compile-time increases, c) gives the improvements. Michael’s work on SCEV [1] is an example of this. This (and similar work by others, eg. the refs in this mail thread) shows that clang can get ahead of the game and improve compile-time significantly. It is now time to shoot the azimuth and see where future improvements can come from and where they can take clang compile-time. Some ideas are in Michael’s mail thread, but with additional analysis and insight including from compiling clang itself more opportunities should become apparent. Expect most of the issues to take many weeks...

Accurate area map projections
Hi,
Could any one point me to the projection, and parameters if necessary, that
would show each country/continent with it's area accurately refelcted on the
plot? E.g. aitoff vs. albers vs. bonne vs. cylequalearea vs. guyou - they
don't all look the same to mee but some of the documentations suggests they
are equal area? Of course this isn't my field, so I am largely guessing and

This package performs a 2D statistical analysis, both numerical and

(module and azimuth) vector analysis is performed in three stages:
modules are analyzed by means of linear statistics, azimuths are
analyzed by circular statistics, and the joint analysis of modules
and azimuths is done using density maps that allow detecting another

LLVM is getting faster, April edition
Hi,
It's been a while since I sent the last compile time report [1], where it was shown that LLVM was getting slower over time. But now I'm happy to bring some good news: finally, LLVM is getting faster, not slower :)
*** Current status ***
Many areas of LLVM have been examined and improved since then: InstCombine, SCEV, APInt implementation, and that resulted in almost 10% improvement
