A Sequentıal Test For The Mean Dırectıon Applıed To Cırcular Data And An Applıcatıon

In this study, a sequential test for circular data is considered. The theoretical details, operating characteristic function and average sample number function of the Sequential Probability Ratio Test for the von Mises distribution are given. Also, an illustrative application of the test is performed on a generated data. Finally, the results obtained from the application are evaluated and some interpretations of how to use this test are given.
