scientimate.directionavg¶
diravg = scientimate.directionavg(direction, NPointsAvg=None, NPointsInterval=None, dispout='no')
Description¶
Average direction
Inputs¶
- direction
- Direction time series data in (degree)
- NPointsAvg=length(direction(:,1))
- Number of data points from start of each section (interval) to be averaged
- NPointsInterval=length(direction(:,1))
- Number of points that each section (interval) has
- dispout=’no’
- Define to display outputs or not (‘yes’: display, ‘no’: not display)
Outputs¶
- diravg
- Averaged direction data in (degree)
Examples¶
import scientimate as sm
import numpy as np
direction=45*np.random.rand(10)
diravg=sm.directionavg(direction)
direction=225*np.random.rand(5*60) #One data point every minute for 5 hours
diravg=sm.directionavg(direction,10,60,'yes')
