Recently I added a vector strength function to scipy. I was interested in also adding some tests of circular statistics, which scipy currently lacks, and noticed there is already a circmean, circvar, and circstd functions. Matlab and R both have circular statistics toolboxes. I don't think this is something that would qualify for an entirely different namespace, but what about moving "vector_strength" to scipy.stats and having a separate section for circular statistics in the scipy.stats documentation? Then we might be able to add some more circular statistics functions there.

I think scipy.signal.vectorstrength is fine where it is. It can be mentioned in the circular stats docs, though. Adding a new section to the docs for the circular stats is a fine idea. -- Robert Kern

Notice that scipy.stats.rayleigh is already taken, in case you want to add the Rayleigh test. Sturla

Thanks, I noticed. I was planning on something like scipy.stats.rayleigh_test but that would be open to discussion.
