conc.test

A test for testing the equality of the concentration parameter among g samples, where g &gt;= 2 for ciruclar data.

 Circular data 

 Equality of concentrations 

 Hypothesis testing 

Test of equality of the concentration parameters for circular data

A collection of functions for directional data (including massive data, with millions of observations) analysis.
Hypothesis testing, discriminant and regression analysis, MLE of distributions and more are included.
The standard textbook for such data is the "Directional Statistics" by Mardia, K. V. and Jupp, P. E. (2000).
