Our approach is based on the maximum deviation (calculated over a given time interval) between a benchmark function and the mean functions at different time points.

Testing for Unspecified Periodicities in Binary Time Series
ABSTRACT Given random variables Y1,…,Yn$$ {Y}_1,\dots, {Y}_n $$ with Yi∈{0,1}$$ {Y}_i\in \left\{0,1\right\} $$ we test the hypothesis whether the underlying success probabilities pi$$ {p}_i $$ are constant or whether they are periodic with an unspecified period length of r≥2$$ r\ge 2 $$.
