Oriana is an orientation analysis/circular statistics program for Microsoft Windows. Oriana uses the KCS Desktop Metaphor. You can spread out your data, the statistical results and the graphs in front of you while you study them, just like paper on your desktop.

Oriana is designed to analyze circular data. The fact that circular data are measured on a closed, cyclical scale means that most of the more common types of statistical analysis are unsuitable.

Oriana performs analysis designed specifically for circular data. Many different types of data are circular in nature. Directional or orientation data, measured as angles in degrees, are the most common type. In this case the circular scale ranges from 0 to just less than 360 degrees.

Oriana has a wide range of native circular data types to match the data with which you are working. There are also several other non-circular data types for associating other data, such as text labels or data measured on a linear scale, with your circular data.

Each variable in an Oriana file is declared as one of 12 data types. These determine the type of data that can be entered in the data editor. Oriana can easily handle missing data.

There is no need to enter a special missing data marker; simply leave a cell in the spreadsheet blank and Oriana will consider that data as missing. Oriana is a very useful orientation analysis/circular statistics program for Microsoft Windows.
