摘要
Burns and Mitchell considered business cycles as recurrent patterns in macroeconomic time series. This article develops formal ways of identifying the occurrence of such patterns and testing their significance. In particular, it calculates the probability that a linear time series model that fits the data well can generate the patterns observed in macroeconomic time series.
