if you have periodic data and you want to find the period, try to use the xcorr variable to find it
[corVal,lag]=xcorr(yourData);
plot(lag,corVal);
% e.g.
[corVal,lag]=xcorr([1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1]);
% to plot the peaks
findpeaks(corVal,lag);
% to get position and peak value
[maxVal,loc]=findpeaks(corVal,lag,'Annotate','peaks')
here, we see e.g. a period of 6 months if each value in the original data was given in month spacing
