Het raw periodogram geeft weer dat er overwegend lage frequenties zijn, dit duidt op een lange periode.
Bij het cumulatief periodogram zie je, zoals de student reeds vermeldde, een snel stijgende lijn wat wijst op een lange-termijn trend.

Het klopt dat er een langzaam dalende lange termijntrend aanwezig is volgens het raw periodogram. Het cumulatieve periodogram kan nog verder geïnterpreteerd worden. We zien dat we 80% kunnen verklaren door een lange termijntrend. Er is geen sprake van een trapjespatroon, dus er is geen seizoenale trend aanwezig.
