Periodicity detection accuracy is very low

• .NET Version: [e.g. .NET 5.0]

Description
This is probably a question and not a bug.
We tested periodicity detection from ML .Net and compared against other approaches. The accuracy is very low.

Accuracy selected means "accuracy on those where it gave an answer". So ML.NET gives a periodicity only on 28% of cases, and on those 28% it's 85% accurate. Kusto gives an answer on 94% of cases, and is 78% accurate on that.

Is this expected behavior?

Which trainer are you using

We're using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.ml.timeseriescatalog.detectseasonality?view=ml-dotnet if that was the question.

@michaelgsharp @luisquintanilla do you have any suggestions here? Do we have a sample that shows how to use this?
