The analysis procedure and computer program proposed in this paper use a series of planes of reference (called "rotations") other than the horizontal, calculating the length of the mean vector relative to each plane; the rotation producing the maximum mean vector length is considered to be the best solution, and is used to determine the azimuth and dip of the mean vector, together with associated statistical parameters.
