Description

Summary statistics of cyclic data.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form rose(x, cyclVar = NULL, circle = NULL, n.cyclVar = 8, cut = NULL, breaks = NULL, labels = NULL, dig.lab = 2, include.lowest = FALSE, subset = NULL, na.warning = TRUE, FUN = mean, ...)

Slots

rho:

Object of class matrix. rho[i,] contains the summary values of all data within the interval defined by the cyclic Variable cyclVar[i]. Column and row names are mandatory. The different columns of rho correspond to different responses when the summary statistics is a scalar or to the different elements of a vector summary of one response or to the different subsets of the second grouping element.

cyclVar:

Object of class numeric containing the center of the interval of the cyclic variable. The values are sorted by increasing values, are unique and cannot contain NA values.

circle:

Scalar of class numeric, defining the full circle.
