"""
This module contains simple functions for dealing with circular statistics, for
instance, mean, variance, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and so
on. This module also cover tests of uniformity, e.g., the Rayleigh and V tests.
The Maximum Likelihood Estimator for the Von Mises distribution along with the
Cramer-Rao Lower Bounds are also implemented. Almost all of the implementations
are based on reference [1]_, which is also the basis for the R package
'CircStats' [2]_.
