Hi,

thanks for your proposal. The Methods in stats often have  a Keyword
nan_policy that allows to omit NaNs or to raise an error. There are some
inconsitencies though (you can find the issues on Github).

What kind of treatment do you propose for circular mean / std?

Christoph

   1. NaN insensitive circular statistics (Burrell, Angeline)
