Dickey Fuller Test Sine Wave or seasonallity

Hi can someone please clarify info regarding the application and validity of the Dickey Fuller test.

If I perform the test using a sine wave would I be required to somehow take into account the seasonality. From my understanding a sine wave is non stationary, using the MATLAB command below I receive a value for hd of 1 and therefore can reject the unit root hypothesis and thus the signal is stationary, does this make sense? I have searched for answers to no avail.

[hd pValue]=adftest(sin(0:0.1:300));

In general I have some pseudo oscillatory data and do not know if I need to pre-process the data to remove seasonality before performing this test? If someone could enlighten me on the amount of lags I am required to keep that would also be great.

Thanks for any help

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
