Intrinsic Mean

A method for computing the average of a collection of angles. The 'instrinsic' refers to the fact that this method is restricted to within the circular space in which angles are defined. The instrinsic mean minimizes the sum of the squares of the arc-lengths from the average to all input angles.

This is generally considered the most accurate averaging method.
