Abstract:
Periodic regression is seldom included in syllabus of statistical courses. However, data following periodic or cyclic behavior are often encountered, especially in agriculture. Therefore, we think that this type of regression should be taught to students of agriculture, even in basic courses of statistics. In this paper we propose the way of teaching periodic regression through examples usually encountered in practice. The analysis of data will be based on the graphical interpretation, which would provide the visual display of the investigated problems as well.
