Mean strain ellipse after Ramsay (1967)

Usage

mean_strain_ellipse_ramsay(
  r,
  phi = NULL,
  boot = TRUE,
  resamples = 1000,
  boot.values = FALSE
)

Arguments

r

numeric. Aspect ratio of deformed object (long axis / short axis)

phi

numeric. Orientation of long axis of deformed object (in degrees)

boot

logical. Whether a 95% confidence interval from on bootstrapping should be calculated. TRUE by default.

resamples

integer. Number of bootstrap resamples (1000 by default). Ignored when boot = FALSE.

boot.values

logical. Whether the bootstrapped R and phi values should be added to the output. FALSE by default.

Value

list. R aspect ratio of strain ellipse, Ri initial aspect ratio, Fl the fluctuation angle (after Ramsay 1967), and phi the mean orientation of the strain ellipse long axis. If boot=TRUE, then the bootstrapped 95% confidence interval for the values are added. If boot.values=TRUE, a matrix containing the bootstrapped R and phi values are added.
