is likely to change a lot before its first proper release. +This API page for ocelot.calculate is just a demo to help us make sure thatmkdocstrings
is working.
ocelot.calculate.position.mean_position(longitudes, latitudes, degrees=True)
+
+¤Calculates the spherical mean of angular positions, specified as longitudes and +latitudes. This uses directional statistics to do so in a way that is aware of +discontinuities, such as the fact that 0° = 360°.
+ + + +Parameters:
+Name | +Type | +Description | +Default | +
---|---|---|---|
longitudes |
+
+ array - like
+ |
+
+
+
+ Array of longitudinal positions of stars in your cluster (e.g. right ascensions +or galactic longitudes.) Assumed to be in the range [0°, 360°]. + |
+ + required + | +
latitudes |
+
+ array - like
+ |
+
+
+
+ Array of latitudinal positions of stars in your cluster (e.g. declinations or +galactic latitudes.) Assumed to be in the range [-90°, 90°]. + |
+ + required + | +
degrees |
+
+ bool
+ |
+
+
+
+ Whether longitudes and latitudes are in degrees, and whether to return an answer +in degrees. Defaults to True. If False, longitudes and latitudes are assumed to +be in radians, with ranges [0, 2π] and [-π/2, π/2] respectively. + |
+
+ True
+ |
+
Returns:
+Name | Type | +Description | +
---|---|---|
mean_longitude |
+ float
+ |
+
+
+
+
+ |
+
mean_latitude |
+ float
+ |

This function explicitly assumes that your star cluster has a well-defined mean +position. Some configurations (such as points uniformly distributed in at least one +axis of a sphere) will not have a meaningful mean position.
+Internally, this function uses scipy.stats.directional_stats
, with a definition
+taken from [1]. See [2] for more background.
