%X Three methods of circular statistics: Rao¡¯s spacing test, Kuiper¡¯s V-test, and Rayleigh¡¯s test based on the mean resultant length are applied to examine the hypothesis of uniform data distribution (i) in a hypothetical study of decaying effectiveness of electrocatalysis, and (ii) in a tank flow reactor with excessive local temperatures (¡°hot spots¡±). Numerical illustrations involve test results indicating rejection, or failure of rejection, for the null hypothesis of population uniformity. The results confirm the power of Rao¡¯s method demonstrated in pertinent literature.
