Folding

ASTERIX contains three folding routines, FOLDLOTS, FOLDAOV and FOLDBIN. FOLDLOTS is a standard period search technique and can be used on any dataset. FOLDAOV uses the analysis of variance technique which is theoretically superior at detecting sharp periodic signals in small sample datasets. Finally if the period is known, FOLDBIN, will fold an N-dimensional dataset at a given period.
