the usual apologies for cross-posting
i'm doing some background preparation for some work that i hope will eventually allow me to model/simulate post-depositional transformations of the (archaeological) burial assemblage (and yes, this will definitely include bayesian stats)
i'm looking for ways that have been tried for recording directions in 3D (a spherical equivalent of the direction-rose sort of plots you get for recording vectors; things like wind direction & so on: so many days with the wind between 0 and 10°, so many between 10 and 20°, etc.)
does anyone have examples of:
first: this kind of recording
and second: ways for doing statistical analysis of direction in 3D space?
among other things i'm wondering if/how you can get around the 0/360° problem...
