Abstract

Often the timing of certain activities has a strong periodic element.Due to circumstanc es, an activity is sometimes made outside the regular cycle, but it d oes not break the cycle. Thus, the timing of future activities is hig hly predict-able. The author provides a stochastic model where the da ta are not seasonal, yet the optimal behavior has a strong periodic e lement.
