This paper studies the reliability and efficiency of detection with the most commonly used technique, the periodogram, in the case where the observation times are unevenly spaced to retain the simple statistical behavior of the evenly spaced case.Abstract:
Detection of a periodic signal hidden in noise is frequently a goal in astronomical data analysis This paper does not introduce a new detection technique, but instead studies the reliability and efficiency of detection with the most commonly used technique, the periodogram, in the case where the observation times are unevenly spaced This choice was made because, of the methods in current use, it appears to have the simplest statistical behavior A modification of the classical definition of the periodogram is necessary in order to retain the simple statistical behavior of the evenly spaced case With this modification, periodogram analysis and least-squares fitting of sine waves to the data are exactly equivalent Certain difficulties with the use of the periodogram are less important than commonly believed in the case of detection of strictly periodic signals In addition, the standard method for mitigating these difficulties (tapering) can be used just as well if the sampling is uneven An analysis of the statistical significance of signal detections is presented, with examplesread more

The generalised Lomb-Scargle periodogram. A new formalism for the floating-mean and Keplerian periodograms
TL;DR: The Lomb-Scargle periodogram is a common tool in the frequency analysis of unequally spaced data equivalent to least-squares fitting of sine waves as discussed by the authors, and it can be used to detect eccentric orbits of exoplanets.
