TSAN: A package for time series analysis

Abstract

Many biomedical data are in the form of time series. Analyses of these datainclude: (1) search for any biorhytm; (2) test of homogeneity of several time series; (3) assessment of stationarity; (4) test of normality of the time histogram; (5) evaluation of dependence between data points. In this paper we present a subroutine package called TSAN. It is developed to accomplish these tasks. Computational methods, as well as flowcharts, for these subroutines are described. Two sample runs are demostrated.
