Finding Hidden Patterns in Datasets: Acknowledgments

For thirteen years, my husband Bob has supported my efforts in Mathematics. His dedication to and respect for the subject have been an inspiration to me.

My daughter Julia has had to put up with a ‘distracted’ Mom on many occasions. Thanks, Julia and Bob, for your patience and love.

My father, James Vreeland, aroused my interest in hidden periodicities. I continually strive to emulate his extremely thorough and organized approach to analysis. My mother, Pauline Vreeland, has graciously put up with many hours of ‘technical talk’. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for a lifetime of love and support.

Many thanks go to my advisor, Professor Pat Lang, for his time and guidance throughout my graduate work at ISU. The exposition and results herein were greatly improved due to his careful scrutiny and constructive comments.

Thanks go also to Ken Bosworth, Alan Egger, Robert Huotari, and John Kalivas, for serving on my graduate committee.
