Trend-Following Celeration Line

Return to Home Page Six Celerations Menu Previous celeration | Next celeration

Description

You draw a Trend-Following celeration by "following" the trends in the frequencies. Any time the trend changes, draw a new celeration line. A Trend-Following celeration, then, typically consists of several celeration lines.

A Trend-Following celeration may prove useful in identifying cycles or "periodicities" in the frequencies over a long period of time. A Trend-Following celeration may also suggest points where something happened to cause a new trend to appear.

Notices

The chart shown above represents a likeness only of a standard celeration chart. The chart shown above is also a "stylized" chart. That means that I constructed it for teaching and illustrative purposes only. It does not show real data. The frequency dots are larger, proportionately, and the celeration lines range through more chart cycles, than one typically finds.

Dr. Ogden R. Lindsley invented the Standard Celeration Chart, founded Behavior Research Company, and has been the main proponent and developer of both Precision Teaching and standard celeration charting.
