Abstract
Testing for periodicity in microarray time series encounters the challenges of short series length, missing values and presence of non-Fourier frequencies. In this article, a test method for such series has been proposed. The method is completely simulation based and finds p-values for test of periodicity through fitting Pearson Type VI distribution. The simulation results compare and reveal the excellence of this method over Fisher's g test for varying series length, frequencies, and error variance. This approach is applied to Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle data in order to demonstrate the practical performance.
