1 Chater 30 Circular Data Aalysis Itroductio This rocedure comutes summary statistics, eerates rose lots ad circular historams, comutes hyothesis tests aroriate for oe, two, ad several rous, ad comutes the circular correlatio coefficiet for circular data. Aular data, recorded i derees or radias, is eerated i a wide variety of scietific research areas. Examles of aular (ad cyclical) data iclude daily wid directios, ocea curret directios, dearture directios of aimals, directio of boe-fracture lae, ad orietatio of bees i a beehive after stimuli. The usual summary statistics, such as the samle mea ad stadard deviatio, caot be used with aular values. For examle, cosider the averae of the aular values ad 359. The simle averae is 80. But with a little thouht, we miht coclude that 0 is a better aswer. Because of this ad other roblems, a secial set of techiques have bee develoed for aalyzi aular data. This rocedure imlemets may of those techiques. 30-

2 Circular Data Aalysis Techical Details Suose a samle of ales a, a,..., a is to be summarized. It is assumed that these ales are i derees. Fisher (993) ad Mardia & Ju (000) cotai defiitios of various summary statistics that are used for aular data. These results will be reseted ext. Let C = cos ( a ) i, C = C, S = ( a ) si i, S = S, T = R = C + S, R = R S ta C S C > 0, > 0 S ta C C + π < 0 S ta S, C C + π < 0 > 0 To iterret these quatities it may be useful to imaie that each ale reresets a vector of leth oe i the directio of the ale. Suose these idividual vectors are arraed so that the beii of the first vector is at the orii, the beii of the secod vector is at the ed of the first, the beii of the third vector is at the ed of the secod, ad so o. We ca the imaie a sile vector a that will stretch from the orii to the ed of the last observatio. R, called the resultat leth, is the leth of a. R is the mea resultat leth of a. Note that R varies betwee zero ad oe ad that a value of R ear oe imlies that there was little variatio i values of the ales. The mea directio,θ, is a measure of the mea of the idividual ales. θ is estimated byt. The circular variace, V, measures the variatio i the ales about the mea directio. V varies from zero to oe. The formula for V is The circular stadard deviatio, v, is defied as v = V = R ( R ) l The circular disersio, used i the calculatio of cofidece itervals, is defied as The skewess is defied as T δ = R ( ) s = R T T si ( R ) 3/ 30-

3 The kurtosis is defied as Circular Data Aalysis ( ) k = R cos T T R 4 ( R ) Correctio for Groued Data Whe the ales are roued, a multilicative correctio for R may be ecessary. The corrected value is ive by where = * R = R π / J si / ( π J ) Here J is the umber of equi-sized arcs. Thus, for mothly data, J would be. Cofidece Iterval for the Mea Directio Uto & Fileto (989) ae 0 ive a cofidece iterval for the mea directio whe o distributioal assumtio is made as where Circular Uiform Distributio T ± σ = si ( z α / σ ) ( H) 4R H = cos T cos a si T si a ( ) ( i ) + ( ) ( i ) Uiformity refers to the situatio i which all values aroud the circle are equally likely. The robability distributio o a circle with this roerty is the circular uiform distributio, or simly, the uiform distributio. The robability desity fuctio is ive by The robability betwee ay two oits is ive by f ( a ) = 360 a a Pr ( a < a a a, a a + π ) =

4 Circular Data Aalysis Tests of Uiformity Uiformity refers to the situatio i which all values aroud the circle are equally likely. Occasioally, it is useful to erform a statistical test of whether a set of data do ot follow the uiform distributio. Several tests of uiformity have bee develoed. Note that whe ay of the followi tests are reected, we ca coclude that the data were ot uiform. However, whe the test is ot reected, we caot coclude that the data follow the uiform distributio. Rather, we do ot have eouh evidece to reect the ull hyothesis of uiformity. Rayleih Test The Rayleih test, discussed i Mardia & Ju (000) aes 94-95, is the score test ad the likelihood ratio test for uiformity withi the vo Mises distributio family. The Rayleih test statistic is R. For lare samles, the distributio of this statistic uder uiformity is a chi-square with two derees of freedom with a error of O. A closer aroximatio to the chi-square with two derees of freedom is achieved by aroximatio of ( ) the modified Rayleih test. This test, which has a error of O( ), is calculated as follows. R S * = R + Modified Kuier's Test The modified Kuier's test, Mardia & Ju (000) aes 99-03, was desied to test uiformity aaist ay alterative. It measures the distace betwee the cumulative uiform distributio fuctio ad the emirical distributio fuctio. It is accurate for samles as small as 8. The test statistic, V, is calculated as follows 4 where V 0. 4 V = V a( i) i a( i) i = max mi + to 360 to 360 Published critical values of V are V Alha This table was used to create a iterolatio formula from which the alha values are calculated. Watso Test The followi uiformity test is outlied i Mardia & Ju aes The test is coducted by calculati U ad comari it to a table of values. If the calculated value is reater tha the critical value, the ull hyothesis of uiformity is reected. Note that the test is oly valid for samles of at least eiht ales. The calculatio of U is as follows U i = u i u + i + ( ) = 30-4

5 where Circular Data Aalysis u( i) i u = =, u ( i) a( i) = 360 a () a ( ) a ( 3 ) a ( ) are the sorted ales. Note that maximum likelihood estimates of κ ad θ are used i the distributio fuctio. Mardia & Ju (000) reset a table of critical values that has bee etered ito NCSS. Whe a value of U is calculated, the table is iterolated to determie its siificace level. Published critical values of U are U Alha Vo Mises Distributios The Vo Mises distributio takes the role i circular statistics that is held by the ormal distributio i stadard liear statistics. I fact, it is shaed like the ormal distributio, excet that its tails are trucated. The robability desity fuctio is ive by where I ( x) f ( a; θ, κ ) = ex cos π I 0 ( κ ) [ κ ( a θ) ] (the modified Bessel fuctio of the first kid ad order ) is defied by I articular I ( x) r+ x =, = 0,,,! r! r= 0 ( r + ) I ( x) = r= 0 ( r! ) 0 = π π x cos The arameterθ is the mea directio ad the arameterκ is the cocetratio arameter. The distributio is uimodal. It is symmetric about A. It aears as a ormal distributio that is trucated at lus ad mius 80 derees. Wheκ is zero, the vo Mises distributio reduces to the uiform distributio. Asκ ets lare, the vo Mises distributio aroaches the ormal distributio. 0 e x ( θ ) r dθ 30-5

6 Circular Data Aalysis Poit Estimatio The maximum likelihood estimate of θ is the samle mea directio. That is, θ = T. The maximum likelihood of κ is the solutio to where That is, the MLE of κ is ive by ( ) A κ = R ( ) A x κ * = A ( ) ( x) I x =. I 0 ( R) This ca be aroximated by (see Fisher (993) ae 88 ad Mardia & Ju (000) aes 85-86) κ * = 5 3 5R R + R + R < R R < R R R 4R + R This estimate is very biased. This bias is corrected by usi the followi modified estimator. * * max κ, 0 κ * < κ * κ = 3 ( ) κ * κ ( + ) * κ 5 > 5 Test for a Secified Mea Directio of Vo Mises Data There are several differet hyothesis tests that have bee roosed for testi H 0 :θ = θ 0 versus H :θ θ 0, whereθ 0 is a secific value of the mea directio. The tests reseted here require the additioal assumtio that the data follow the Vo Mises distributio, at least aroximately. It will be useful to adot the followi otatio. * C = cos a i 0 θ ( ) * S = si a i 0 θ ( ) [ ] + [ ] * * * R = S C 30-6

7 Circular Data Aalysis Score Test The score test, ive by Mardia & Ju (000) ae 3, is comuted as χ S = A κ ( ) ( * S ) κ For lare, χ S follows the chi-square distributio with oe deree of freedom. Likelihood Ratio Test The likelihood ratio test, ive by Mardia & Ju (000) ae, is comuted as χ L * * [( ) ( C ) ] * ( C ) 4 R * if 5 ad C / 3 = 3 * ( C ) * lo if 5 ad C > / 3 * + ( C ) + 3 * ( R ) The test statistic, χ L, follows a chi-square distributio with oe deree of freedom. Watso & Williams Test The Watso ad Williams test, ive by Mardia & Ju (000) ae 3, is comuted as F = R C * * * ( R ) / ( ) if C * 5 / 6 The test statistic, F, follows a F distributio with oe ad - derees of freedom. Stehes Test This test, ive by Fisher (993) aes 93-94, is comuted as If κ, E follows the stadard ormal distributio. ( T θ ) si E = / 0 ( κr) Cofidece Iterval for Mea Directio assumi Vo Mises A eeral cofidece iterval for θ was ive above. Whe the data ca be assumed to follow a vo Mises distributio, a more aroriate iterval is ive by Mardia & Ju (000) ae 4 ad Uto & Fileto (989) ae 69. This cofidece iterval is ive by T [ α ] ( 4 α ) R z T ± cos R z if R / 3 ± z ( R ) α ex cos R if R > /

8 Circular Data Aalysis Test for a Secified Cocetratio of Vo Mises Data Suose you wat to test a oe-sided hyothesis coceri κ, ive that the data come from a Vo Mises distributio ad that the mea directio arameter is ukow. Fisher (993) ae 95 suests the followi rocedure whe κ. Whe testi κ = κ 0 versus κ < κ 0, reect the ull hyothesis if χ ;α 3 R < + κ 8κ 0 0 Whe testi κ = κ 0 versus κ > κ 0, reect the ull hyothesis if These tests are based o the result that χ ; α 3 R > + κ 8κ ( R) 3 + κ 8κ 0 0 ~ χ 0 0 Cofidece Iterval for Cocetratio of Vo Mises A aroximate cofidece iterval for κ whe κ > was ive by Mardia & Ju (000) aes 6-7 as where + + 3b + + 3d, 4b 4d b = χ d = χ ( R), α / ( R), α / Goodess of Fit Tests for the Vo Mises Distributio Stehes Modified Watso s Test The followi oodess-of-fit test, ublished by Lockhart & Stehes (985) as a modificatio of the Watso test for the circle, is outlied i Fisher (993) ae 84. The test is coducted by calculati U ad comari it to a table of values. If the calculated value is reater tha the critical value, the ull hyothesis of Vo Misesess is reected. Note that the test is oly valid for samles of at least 0 ales. The calculatio of U is as follows U i = i ( )

9 where Circular Data Aalysis ( i ) i = = ( i ) ( i ) = Fκ a ( ) T a () a ( ) a ( ) a ( ) Fκ a θ is the cumulative distributio fuctio of the vo Mises distributio. Note that maximum likelihood estimates of κ ad θ are used i the distributio fuctio. Lockhart & Stehes (985) reset a table of critical values that has bee etered ito NCSS. Whe a value of U is calculated, the table is iterolated to determie its siificace level. 3 are the sorted ales ad ( ) Cox Test Mardia & Ju (000) aes 4-43 reset a vo Mises oodess-of-fit test that was oriially ive by Cox (975). The test statistic, C, is distributed as a chi-squared variable with two derees of freedom uder the ull hyothesis that the data follow the vo Mises distributio. It is calculated as follows. where sc C = + v c s s ( κ ) vs( κ ) sc = cos a T ( i ) α ( κ ) ss = si ai T vc ( x) = + α4 α v ( x) S = ( ) [ α / + α / α α ] ( + α ) / α 3 ( ) α α α α 4 3 α Multi-Grou Tests Three multi-rou tests are available for testi hyotheses about two or more rous. The oarametric uiform-scores test tests whether the distributios of the rous are idetical. The Watso-Williams F test tests whether a set of mea directios are equal ive that the cocetratios are ukow, but equal, ive that the rous each follow a vo Mises distributio. The cocetratio homoeeity test tests whether the cocetratio arameters are equal, ive that the rous each follow a vo Mises distributio. 30-9

10 Circular Data Aalysis Mardia-Watso-Wheeler Uiform-Scores Test Suose you have oulatios followi ay commo distributio from which radom samles are take ad you wish to test whether these distributios are equal. Fisher (993) ae ad Mardia & Ju (000) aes reset a oarametric test that is calculated as follows i i where C Ri = cos( γ i ), S Ri = si( γ i ) = = ales. The circular raks are calculated usi W = ( CRi + S Ri ), = i where the r i are the raks of the corresodi a i. ri γ i = π i, ad γ i are the circular raks of the corresodi If all i are reater tha 0, the distributio of W is aroximately distributed as a chi-square with - derees of freedom. Sice raks are used i this test, ties become a issue. We have adoted the stratey of alyi averae raks. Note that little has bee doe to test the adotio of this stratey withi the realm of circular statistics. Watso-Williams Hih Cocetratio F Test Suose you have Vo Mises oulatios from which radom samles are take ad you wish to test whether their mea directios are equal. That is, you wish to test the ull hyothesis H : θ = θ =... = θ 0 Mardia & Ju (000) aes reset the Watso-William Hih-Cocetratio F Test that is calculated as follows F WW R R / 3 = = + 8 κ R / = ( ) ( ) where κ is the maximum likelihood estimate of the cocetratio based o R ad R = C = = + S, C = cos( a ). i, S = si( ai ), R = C S +, C = C, S = S, ad The distributio of F WW is aroximately distributed as a F with - ad - derees of freedom whe the assumtios that κ = κ =... = κ ad that the distributios are Vo Mises are made. The aroximatio also requires that κ. = = 30-0

11 Circular Data Aalysis Multi-Grou Cocetratio Homoeeity Test Suose you have rous from which radom samles are take ad you wish to test whether the cocetratios are equal. That is, you wish to test the ull hyothesis H : κ = κ =... = κ 0 Mardia & Ju (000) ae 39 resets such a test. It is divided ito three cases. Case I. R < U is aroximately distributed as a chi-square with - derees of freedom where w = ( ) U = = w f ad f = si ( R / ) 3 8 = w f = w Case II R U is aroximately distributed as a chi-square with - derees of freedom U = w h = = w h = w where w = ad h = R 089. sih. 58 Case III. R > U3 is aroximately distributed as a chi-square with - derees of freedom where ν U 3= =, ν =,ad R R = ν lo + d ν lo ν = ν d = 3 ( ) = ν ν. 30-

12 Circular Data Aalysis Circular Correlatio Measure This sectio discusses a measure of the correlatio betwee two circular variables reseted by Jammalamadaka ad SeGuta (00). Suose a samle of airs of ales ( a, a),( a, a ),...,( a, a ) is available. The circular correlatio coefficiet is calculated as r c = k = si si ( ak T, ) si( ak T, ) ( ak T, ) si ( ak T, ) k = k = wheret, is the mea directio of the first circular variable ad T, is the mea directio of secod. The siificace of this correlatio coefficiet ca be test usi the fact the z r is aroximately distributed as a stadard ormal, where z r = r c λ λ λ 0 0 ad i λ i = si k = ( ak T, ) si ( ak T, ) Data Structure The data cosist of oe or more variables. Each variable cotais a set of aular values. The rows may be searated ito rous usi the uique values of a otioal roui variable. A examle of a dataset cotaii circular data is Circular.S0.
