		| Abstract: | 
		Formally it may not be possible to discriminate between true variability
 of a given pulsation mode on the one hand, and beating between two or
 more modes with close frequencies. In a number of sdBV stars   
 dramatic changes over short timescales in the overall power content of 
 oscillations, and other evidence, favour the former explanation. Two
 statistical procedures are discussed: testing for stochastic 
 versus deterministic oscillations, and testing for amplitude variability
 versus constant amplitudes, at a fixed frequency. |
