Welcome to sphstat’s documentation!
The sphstat package offers a range of tools for performing both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis on data that lies on the unit sphere. It includes implementations of various tests and algorithms developed by Fisher, Lewis, and Embleton 1.
N.B. Tests and methods for axial data have not yet been implemented as of version 1.0
sphstat implements several modules whose names are pretty self-explanatory. These are:
descriptives: Functions for descriptive statistics on spherical data
distributions: Functions for generating data from different spherical distributions
singlesample: Functions for single-sample tests on spherical data
twosample: Functions for inferential staticts on two or more samples
modelling: Functions for cross-correlation, regression, and temporal analysis
utils: Utility functions used by other modules
sphstat was implemented by Huseyin Hacihabiboglu, (https://www.hacihabiboglu.org)
