//! Seasonality: the periodogram of a univariate series and the estimation of
//! its dominant period.
//!
//! Smoothing with [`crate::smoothing::HoltWinters`] and any seasonal
//! decomposition need the period as an input. This module estimates it from
//! the data by the two-stage procedure of AutoPeriod (Vlachos, Yu & Castelli
//! 2005):
//!
//! 1. **Periodogram** — the series is linearly detrended, zero-padded to a
//!    power of two at least four times its length, and transformed with the
//!    FFT; the power at each frequency bin is `|X_k|² / n`. Padding
//!    interpolates the spectrum so that a period which does not divide the
//!    length still shows one peak at its true frequency rather than two
//!    half-height neighbours. A local maximum is a candidate when its power
//!    exceeds what the same
//!    values in random order produce: the series is permuted 100 times and
//!    the 99th percentile of the largest periodogram ordinate is the
//!    threshold (AutoPeriod's permutation test, deterministic here). A
//!    periodogram bin names a *frequency band*, not an integer period: bin
//!    `k` of a padded length `m` covers periods between `m/(k+1)` and
//!    `m/(k−1)`.
//! 2. **Autocorrelation refinement** — within each candidate's band the
//!    autocorrelation function is searched for its hill top: the lag with
//!    the largest ACF that is a local maximum and, after correcting the
//!    biased estimator's `(n − lag)/n` shrinkage, exceeds the 95% white-noise
//!    bound `1.96/√n`. That lag is the integer period. A candidate whose band
//!    has no such hill is discarded — it was spectral leakage or a harmonic
//!    without its own structure.
//!
//! The dominant period is the validated candidate with the largest ACF; every
//! validated candidate is returned so a caller can see harmonics and
//! competing cycles. The ACF is the biased estimator (see
//! [`crate::correlation::acf`]), which slightly favours shorter lags — the
//! fundamental over its multiples.
//!
