In order to gain a better understanding of the pulsating phenomenon that is characteristic to RV Tauri and Semi-Regular stars, we are using the least squares method, fourier analysis and the weighted wavelet analysis techniques to create model light curve fits for several RV and SR type variables. We began by downloading raw data for each variable from the AAVSO International Database and by using the aforementioned techniques, we are able to determine the dominate formal and half periods for each star, and track their stability over time. We will present our current progress and preliminary results for our multi-periodic fits and their variation over time focusing on the seven year period from 2002 through 2009. Support for this work was provided by the NSF PAARE program to South Carolina State University under award AST-0750814.
