A Matlab implementation of the Hermans-Rasson test for non-uniformity of circular data. The test is described in:

Hermans M, Rasson J. (1985). A new Sobolev test for uniformity on the circle. Biometrika. 72:698–702. doi: 10.1093/biomet/72.3.698.

The Hermans-Rasson test can provide additional power (c.f. the Rayleigh test, for example) to reject the hypothesis of uniformity in cases where the distribution is multi-modal with unknown symmetry.

For a comparison of several tests for non-uniformity and some recommendations on their relative merits, see:

Landler L, Ruxton GD, Malkemper EP. (2018). Circular data in biology: advice for effectively implementing statistical procedures. Behavioral ecology and sociobiology. 72(8) 128. doi: 10.1007/s00265-018-2538-y.
