Links to UWS Test Materials
During October 2011, the Universal Cycle Theory: Neomechanics of the Hierarchically Infinite Universe will be published. This book outlines a new theory of the universe, as well as discussing tests that validate the UWS cycles. Because the details were too lengthy to include in the book, this web-page serves as a supplement.
In the book, Sections C & D describe the equations and test plan used in validating the UWS cycles. Then, Section E summarizes the test results. The links below give the details of those tests. Anyone wanting to replicate the tests described in the Universal Cycle Theory can do so with the supplemental materials below. The links contain two types of data -- spreadsheets and periodogram scripts:
1) Excel Spreadsheets -- The spreadsheets contain a wealth of information, including:
a) the original data or time-series
b) documentation about the source of the data
c) the transformations used to prepare the data for analysis
d) the transformed data -- used as the input files for the periodogram scripts
e) basic statistics for each transformed time-series
f) time-series charts
g) periodograms produced from the scripts

2) Periodogram scripts -- The R statistical package must be installed on your computer to run these scripts. Furthermore, the text "File_Pathname" must be modified to the name of the directory on your computer where each script resides. Next, a sub-directory named "Data" must be created, and the input files must be copied to the "Data" sub-directory. Once those steps are carried out, the first line of the script must be copied into "R". "R" will then create periodograms identical to the ones used in the validation tests. (Images of the periodograms are also included in the spreadsheets.)
