This is a toolbox for doing circular statistics with Matlab. It requires the Statistics Toolbox. Since 2010, most functions for descriptive statistics can be used in Matlab style matrix computations. As a last argument, add the dimension along which you want to average. This changes the behavior slightly from previous relaeses, in that input is not reshaped anymore into vector format. Per default, all computations are performed columnwise (along dimension 1). If you prefer to use the old functions, for now they are contained in the subdirectory ‘old’.
