Overview

Abstract (English)

This article presents the preliminary results of my daily birth time series studies in eight Canadian provinces for 2011–2019. An extensive review of the available literature shows that researchers usually analyse the monthly birth time series, perhaps because of the unavailability of daily birth data. Statistics Canada started releasing daily birth data records for Canadian provinces and territories in 2011. Using the Fourier analysis of daily birth time series, I revealed new cycles on birth time series that, to my knowledge, were not observed in previous works. This research was conducted at the Regina and Saskatoon Research Data Centres (RDC) of Statistics Canada. It was supported by the University of Regina, the First Nations University of Canada and Statistics Canada.
