Out of 26 events, 8 occur at very similar redshifts. This indicates that similar events in entirely different parts of the sky are happening at very similar times. R Tomes notes that the harmonics theory expects such results as standing waves cause this synchronization over the whole universe. However only objects at common distances from us will have the signal arrive at the same time. It is natural to look for periodicity in this data. I have done so and will report this separately.

Selection effects for GRBs, of both classes, are still quite poorly understood - for example Fiore et al, "Selection effects shaping the gamma ray burst redshift distributions", 2007.

How do you intend to address selection effects in your analysis?
