New statistical methods for directional data on circles and spheres unveiled

This research paper introduces novel statistical methods for analyzing directional data on circles and spheres. It highlights the challenges of standard arithmetic means with angular data and proposes new approaches for calculating circular and axial averages, directional variability, and probability models. The core principle emphasizes understanding the geometry and symmetries of observations before applying statistical techniques, using examples from machine learning and real-world data like wind observations and diffusion-MRI orientations.
