Rao's Spacing Test of Uniformity
Performs Rao's Spacing Test of uniformity.
rao.spacing(x, alpha=0, rad=TRUE)
x |
numeric vector of angular data measured in degrees. |
alpha |
numeric value specifying the significance level of the test. The default value is 0, in which case, a range for the p-value will be returned. Valid significance levels are 0.10, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001. |
rad |
logical value. If true, data will be assumed to be measured radians. If false, data will be assumed to be measured in degrees. |
If alpha is specified, critical values are determined from a table of simulated critical points (see reference below). If alpha is not specified, a range for the p-value is determined using the table of simulated critical points.
NULL
The Rao's Spacing Test is performed, and the results are written to the screen.
