A new idea for searching and mining latent periodicities from labeled data (time series, aminoacid or DNA sequences, etc.) is proposed. This new method is based on systematic sampling procedures. A materializing algorithm is proposed and some supporting theoretical results are given. This method is very useful for biologists, environmental researchers, financial researchers and managers, etc., etc. Also some illustrating examples are given.
