Cycle Representation A CIRCLE (Clock) is the ideal representation for cyclic behaviour. Physics: Particle moving in a circle at constant angular velocity. The vertical displacement at time T gives standard sine/cosine curve. Easy for respondents to indicate where they believe we are on the cycle by indicating the appropriate time (3, 6 10, etc.)
An Alternative Model Sine/Cosine Model: Particle moving in a circle at constant angular velocity. Alternative (generalised) Model: Angular velocity varies with the angle Easiest such model:
Gives rise to periodic solutionsa = b = 0 reduces to sine/cosine modelNo closed form solution for the general case
With no closed form expression for the alternative model, fitting needs to be done using a 2-equation iterative process
