Estimating the Parameters of a Circle When Angular Differences are Known

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1983, vol. 32, issue 1, 1-6

Abstract: This paper examines the problem of estimating the parameters of a circle when angular differences between successive data points are known. It is shown how this extra information reduces a model previously studied in the literature to a linear model with some interesting properties. The model is fitted to two data sets, the first arising in physics and the second in archaeology.
