Dear everyone,
I have a dataset on the migration pattern of amphibians, including the angle at which the movements were initiated, and the distance covered.
I am interested in finding out if the angle described by the movements (i.e. directionality) is related to landscape features. To do so I need to use circular statistics as binary encoding "towards" and "away" from key features is not precise enough.
Would you be able to recommend a methodology to do so, and/or a (free) software that can be used for such an analysis.
Thank you in advance,
Amael
