I want to get the minimum arc (in degrees) needed to include a set of compass directions. I would like to use the range.circular() function of the package circular, because that package understands a compass-type of angle convention, but it gives results I don't understand. Howver, I can get the correct answer in the example below, 90 degrees, using the CircStats package. How can I make the

Hello, Once again, I posted a message without a subject line. Sorry.... here is the question again. Is there a simple way to modify the circ.mean function in the CircStats package to include a vector of weights to obtain a weighted average angle? Thanks!

Hi, I've currently to work with some circular data. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with circular statistics and would really appreciate if I could get some help concerning the CircStats package this way. My data lies in the range 0 to 2*pi, and is transformed to radians (as expected by the CircStats methods). Calculating the mean direction (circ.mean) results for some datasets in a

Hi, I try to compute circular means for a matrix with NAs, but the function "circ.mean" return only means for lines with complete values and do not accept "na.omit=T" or "na.rm=T", or "na.action=na.omit", or "na.fail=T". Also, I try to use "polar.plot" of the package poltrix with the same matrix, but angles are not display because of

When I inserted one line of code, the behaviour was completely different! Instead of just printing one line more to the output, the complete call of the function in which this line was added, is different, and instead of one such

In conducting studies of animal orientation and displacement, I need to produce circular histograms of angles (bearings in radians 0-2pi) where the centre of the circle indicates very few observations for a given bin of angles and outwardly concentric circles indicate greater frequencies of observations for a given bin of angles. I'd like not to have to write the function myself but I

Hello, I am quite new to R and although I have read some material (apparently not enough) I'm getting very frustrated. I'm trying to do some simple circular statistics in R (CircStats, primarily circ.mean) and I'm confused about the results. What is a negative radian or degree mean in R? I thought it would be a coterminal angle, but that doesn't make sense with my data

circ.plot in CircStats under R 1.8.0 yields incorrect plots (easily compare hist() and rose.diag()). However, the code in circ.plot has not changed. Has anyone tracked this down yet?

Hi, i found a bug in circ.plot of CircStats package, namely that the plot ingore the datasets with value = 0. it's simple to fix it, but i cannot seem to figure out where to submit the fix. is there a official procedure of submitting bug report/patch to the contributed packages? -- View this message in context:

I have a vector of dimension 67, but CircStat circ.summary and circ.disp seems to conclude that the dimension is 1.

Hi! I so far succeeded in setting up a Samba NT4 DC with OpenLDAP backend. Unfortunately I get the following error message connecting a Windows XP client to the domain (translated from german): [...] The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.lohrmann.de [...] This is surely due to a

Hello everyone, I'm stumped. I'd like to create a scatterplot matrix with circular reference lines. Here is an example in 2d: library(ellipse) set.seed(1) dat <- matrix(rnorm(300), ncol = 3) colnames(dat) <- c("X1", "X2", "X3") dat <- as.data.frame(dat) grps <- factor(rep(letters[1:4], 25)) panel.circ <- function(x, y, ...) { circ1

Hi, I've got a browsing problem, I'm searching the error for a long time now so I think betimes it's a bug ;-) For debugging purposes, I've left away everything in the network that's not necessary. There's now only one XP-Prof workstation (domain member) and one samba server (3.0.22, acting as PDC) anymore. Bind9 is the local DNS server; Forward and PTR entries are

Hi R-profs, Maybe my question is a little off topic. Could any one tell me how to calculate a linear-circular correlation coefficient and its p-values? I had a quick look at circular and CircStats packages and did not find the related function. Thanks for any kindly help.

Hi, If I have two sets of directional data (in radians) and want to compare them with a multifactorial anova. Is it even legitimate to compare circular data with an anova? The books I've picked up from the library don't really say, but it looks unlikely. If it is allowable, is my having stored the data as circular (X = as.circular(A)) something the aov() function will take into account,

I have data for several rings of a left heart chamber, and which I would like to display in concentric rings, with color-encoding of the values. Each ring corresponds to one slice through the heart, and the rings correspond to positions from the base to the apex of the heart as you move from the outermost ring to the innermost one. The data have a circular pattern. These types of displays are

Dear All, Ulric Lund and me are developing a new package called 'circular' that as soon as possible will substitute 'CircStats' package.
