title: 'radiatR: Analysis and Visualisation of Headings and Trajectories in Circular
  Space'
version: 0.4.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.radiatR
abstract: A complete pipeline for analysing directional data -- headings and trajectories
  in circular space. Supply a table of angles directly, or reconstruct headings from
  movement trajectories imported from 20+ tracking tools (EthoVision, DeepLabCut,
  SLEAP, TRex, ANY-maze, TrackMate, idtracker.ai, Ctrax, and others) via a unified
  dialect-based loader system, including multi-bodypart pose estimation with likelihood-weighted
  centroid. Derives per-trial heading directions using multiple rules (ring-crossing,
  distal point, pose body-axis, velocity-based, and more). Computes circular statistics
  including mean direction, resultant length, von Mises and wrapped Cauchy parametric
  fits, circular correlation (circular-linear and circular-circular), and multi-sample
  hypothesis tests (Watson-Williams, Rayleigh, and others) with multiple-comparison
  correction. Renders publication-quality ggplot2 radial plots with overlaid rose
  diagrams, parametric density curves, and non-parametric kernel density estimates.
  Includes a browser-based graphical interface requiring no R coding via launch_app().
