Abstract

The light curves of sixty-two Mira-type variables best covered by AAVSO observations made between 1974 and 1977 (AAVSO 1983) were approximated by a trigonometric polynomial fit with optimal values of the number of harmonics and of the period. Correlations between the pairs of twenty-five parameters are discussed.
