Measurements like mass, length and speed are "linear "; but compass direction or the time of the year are "circular". Circular data have a repeating nature and an arbitrary zero: 12 months after the 1st of July it is the 1st of July again. This book explains how to easily and effectively analyse circular data statistically.
