Analysis of rhythmic variance - ANORVA. A new simple method for detecting rhythms in biological time series
Cyclic variations of variables are ubiquitous in biomedical science. A number of methods for detecting rhythms have been developed, but they are often difficult to interpret. A simple procedure for detecting cyclic variations in biological time series and quantification of their probability is prese...
