Estimating the Common Mean Direction of Several Circular or Spherical Distributions with Differing Dispersions
本文研究如何基于多个样本，对可能具有不同离散程度的圆形或球形总体的公共平均方向进行合并估计，并开发了近似置信锥方法。
This paper considers the problem of forming a pooled estimate of the common mean direction of several circular or spherical populations with possibly differing dispersions, based on samples from each population. Methods for obtaining approximate confidence cones for the mean direction of a single circular or spherical population are developed, then applied to the case of several samples.
