Various approaches to the elucidation of periodicities in biological data sets are reviewed and evaluated. The major periodicity in a data set can be revealed by the correlogram obtained from autocorrelation analyses; knowing the main wavelength from autocorrelation, the proportion of the total variation due to a sinusoidal curve is readily obtained by multiple regression.
