function [r mu] = circ_axialmean(alphas, m, dim)
%
% mu = circ_axialmean(alpha, w)
%   Computes the mean direction for circular data with axial 
%   correction.
%
%   Input:
%     alpha	sample of angles in radians
%     [m		axial correction (2,3,4,...)]
%     [dim      statistic computed along this dimension, 1]
%
%   Output:
%     r		mean resultant length
%     mu		mean direction
