rotations

<p>This package implements tools for working with rotational data: it allows simulation from the 
most commonly used  distributions on \(SO(3)\), it includes methods for different mean and median type 
estimators for the central orientation of a sample, it provides confidence regions 
for those estimates and it includes a novel visualization technique for rotation data.</p>

Tools for working with rotational data, including
simulation from the most commonly used distributions on SO(3),
methods for different Bayes, mean and median type estimators for
the central orientation of a sample, confidence/credible
regions for the central orientation based on those estimators and
a novel visualization technique for rotation data.  Most recently,
functions to identify potentially discordant (outlying) values
have been added.  References: Bingham, Melissa A. and Nordman, Dan J. and Vardeman, Steve B. (2009) <doi:10.1198/jasa.2009.ap08741>,
