Analyses of periodicity in macrobenthos using constructed and real data
William Stephenson · Austral Ecology · 1978
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.
