[The problematic cosinor].
We set off the severe deficiences of the simple cosinor method. It doesn't take error's correlation and sampling conditions into consideration. Consequently, the obtained statistical results are often misleading. This method, exclusively used by chronobiologists, should generally be avoided. References are given, containing information on adequate data processing [7, 13, 18].
