Choose a period estimate

Question

Which period should define folding or a downstream model?

What you need

A recording with several observable cycles and a defensible selected interval.

Click path

  1. Inspect the core periodograms for edge peaks and harmonics.
  2. Choose Workbench → Compare period estimates.
  3. Run unlike methods over the same candidate range.
  4. If period drifts, run Track phase and period.
  5. Adopt a period only after checking coverage, uncertainty, and warnings.

What success looks like

Several estimators support one neighbourhood and no result is pinned to the search boundary.

What it does not prove

Estimator agreement does not prove endogenous rhythmicity or entrainment.

What gets saved

Download result JSON or save the project; both preserve the selected range and methods.
