gastropy.circular_mean

gastropy.circular_mean(phases)

Compute the circular (directional) mean of phase values.

Parameters:

phases (array_like) – Phase values in radians.

Returns:

mean_phase – Circular mean direction in radians (-pi to pi).

Return type:

float

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> phases = np.array([0.1, 0.2, 0.15, 0.12])
>>> round(circular_mean(phases), 2)
0.14
