This study introduces a straightforward method for assessing circular uniformity, even with dependent angular measurements. It uses simulated rotation to test if angle distributions are rotation-invariant, proposing a new weighted Rayleigh test.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Circular Data Analysis

Background:

  • Testing uniformity on a circle is crucial in various scientific fields.
  • Existing methods may struggle with dependent angular measurements within subjects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple and robust method for testing circular uniformity.
  • To accommodate dependence among repeated angular measurements from the same subject.

Main Methods:

  • A simulation-based approach to generate null reference distributions.
  • Rotating each subject's vector of angles by a random amount.
  • Proposing a new weighted version of the univariate Rayleigh test.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method allows for testing uniformity with dependent data.

  • The simulation approach effectively generates null distributions for hypothesis testing.
  • A novel weighted univariate Rayleigh test is introduced.

    • Conclusions:

    • The new method provides a flexible way to test circular uniformity with dependent data.
    • Simulation-based null distributions are a viable approach for complex data structures.
    • The weighted Rayleigh test offers an improved tool for circular data analysis.
