Entrainment Involves Circular Data
• A simple way to describe any rhythmic behavior is using a circle.
• Each point on the circle represents a position in relative time (a phase angle).
• The start point is arbitrary.

Why won’t linear statistics work?
• With circular data there is a cross-over problem.
• For example, measured in degrees, the linear mean of 359 and 1 is 180, not 0
• This problem arises no matter what the start point is, and is independent of unit of measurement.

Statistics for Circular Data
• Descriptive Statistics– Mean Direction, – Mean Resultant Length, R– Circular Variance, V
• Inferential Statistical Tests

Statistics for Circular Data
• Descriptive Statistics– Mean Direction, – Mean Resultant Length, R– Circular Variance, V
• Inferential Statistical Tests
J. Devin McAuley 29
Logic of Hypothesis Testing
• State Null & Alternative Hypotheses
• Determine Critical Value– for pre-selected alpha level (e.g., = 0.05)
• Calculate Test Statistic
• If Test Statistic > Critical Value– then Reject Null (e.g., p < 0.05)– otherwise Retain Null
J. Devin McAuley 30
Inferential Statistics
• Test for uniformity
• Test for unspecified mean direction
• Test for specified mean direction

Logic of Hypothesis Testing

What can I do with circular stats?(not an exhaustive list)
• Descriptive statistics– Mean direction and length
– Variance, Standard Deviation
– Skewness, Kurtosis
• Inferential statistics– Uniformity, symmetry
– Unspecified and specified mean direction
– Comparison of two or more samples
– Confidence intervals

What can’t I do with circular stats?
• Circular statistics do not address sequential dependencies.
