rotation {peco} | R Documentation |
Because the origin of the cell cycle phases is arbitrary, we transform the angles prior to computing the distance (rotation and shifting) to minimize the distance between two vectors. After this, one can apply circ_dist to compute the distance between the output value and ref_var.
rotation(ref_var, shift_var)
ref_var |
A vector of reference angles. |
shift_var |
A vector of angles to be compared to ref_var. |
The transformed values of shift_var after rotation and shifting.
