  VECTOR MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
VECTORS: A clear understanding of the concept of vectors and their components is mandatory to an understanding of accident reconstruction in general, and linear momentum in particular.
The vector addition law states that if the arrows representing a set of vectors are laid tail to head in any order, the vector sum (the resultant vector) is represented by the arrow that connects the tail of the first to the head of the last.
Vector sum analysis may be used as a graphical check on the mathematical results obtained from both vector momentum analysis and linear momentum.

 Change Vector Analysis (CVA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
"The change vector analysis technique uses any number of spectral bands from multidate satellite data to produce change images that yield information about both the magnitude and direction of differences in pixel values (which are proportional to radiance)" (Michalek et.
The magnitude of change is shown by the length of the vector, while the direction of change is shown by the angle.

 ? Multitemporal Change Vector Analysis
When change vector analysis is applied to multi-temporal data, it compares the differences in the time-trajectory of a biophysical indicator for successive time periods.
Therefore, the magnitude of a change in a certain direction is weighted by the probability that the natural interannual variability of the climate leads to a change in that direction, this probability being inferred from the covariance matrix of past observations.
The modified change vector analysis was employed for the time series from 1986 to 1997.

 Vector Rose 3.0 - Vector analysis and circular-normal statistics software
Vector Rose 3.0 is an orientation analysis application that calculates circular-normal statistics and plots a circular histogram, linear histogram or class frequencies for any set of angular data, or any data with a circular normal distribution.
Graphical output is represented as the traditional rose diagram with arcs, or as a unit circle with a scaled resultant vector inside and observations plotted outside (see graphics below).
If you need to display your data as a rose diagram or flight-bearing diagram, Vector Rose 3.0 will generate good looking diagrams and statistics in a small fraction of the time that it would take to calculate the statistics and draft the diagram by hand.
