:The angle is then calculated from whatever nonzero components that this small non-zero number happens to have. Getting an angle from a mean this small is unstable, because any tiny change (perhaps by a different order of calculations, resulting in different behavior of the error) would result in a radically different angle. --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] 05:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
::Hmm - I did rush this as I was very tired. This draft task might start a little shakily but I did try to gather the essence of something that had not occurred to me before last night and I intend to tidy-up so please criticise away and make/suggest improvements. I am feeling quite sheepish about having computed average times (another circular mean), for so long and not been actively aware of what I had been doing. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:55, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
:: Which reminds me that I should work on a similar task for mean times. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:55, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
