I have some time series datasets which are periodic, and I'd like to pick out the fundamental frequency of the data and take the average over a fundamental period.
Questions:
1) Would something simple like taking the FFT of the time series data and looking for the strongest peak frequency do the trick, or are there more complicated period detection algorithms out there? For what it's worth, I'm trying to do all this in MATLAB.
2) There are some edge effects, particularly at the beginning of each data set. Would I have to take this into account?
