Before revision:  We show that our method outperforms the Lomb-Scargle periodogram in successfully classifying cells as oscillatory or non-oscillatory in data simulated from a simple genetic oscillator model  . Analysis of bioluminescent live cell imaging shows a significantly greater number of oscillatory cells when luciferase is driven by a {\it Hes1 promoter (10/19), which has previously been reported to oscillate, than the constitutive MMLV promoter (0/25).
