Cosinor analysis uses the least squares method to fit a sine wave to a

time series. Cosinor analysis is often used in the analysis

of biologic time series that demonstrate predictible rhythms. This

method can be used with an unequally spaced time series.



Follows cosinor analysis of a time series as outlined by

Nelson et al. Methods for Cosinor-Rhythmometry Chronobiologica.
