Uniformity test for circular data: Uniformity tests for circular data.
Description
Hypothesis tests of uniformity for circular data.
Usage
kuiper(u, rads = FALSE, R = 1)
watson(u, rads = FALSE, R = 1)
Value
This is an "htest"class object. Thus it returns a list including:
statistic
The test statistic value.
parameter
This is usually the degrees of freedom of the test, but here this is "NA" because the asymptotic based p-value is computed in a different way or because bootstrap was employed.
p.value
The p-value of the test.
alternative
A character with the alternative hypothesis.
method
A character with the test used.
data.name
A character vector with two elements.
Arguments
u
A numeric vector containing the circular data, which cna be expressed in degrees or radians.
rads
A boolean variable. If the data are in radians, put this TRUE. If the data are expressed in degrees make this FALSE.
R
If R = 1 the asymptotic p-value will be calcualted. If R is greater than 1 the bootstrap p-value is returned.

Details
The high concentration (hcf.circaov), log-likelihood ratio (lr.circaov), embedding approach (embed.circaov) or the non equal concentration parameters approach (het.circaov) is used.
