title: Sightseeing around the single cosinor.
abstract: Misuses of the single cosinor analysis are numerous. We give three rules of thumb, providing guidelines as to whether results obtained from this analysis are dubious. This short note avoids mathematical development so as to be comprehensible to the nonspecialist. However, a few endnotes, give some technical comments.
