I found the magic command for getting a good fit based on trigonometric
functions:

<<NumericalMath`TrigFit`
fit = Chop[TrigFit[Flatten[Take[Transpose[passive4],{2}]], 5, {t, 3.45,
13.45}]]


The book says that this TrigFit uses Fourier components directly, which
is essentially what I wanted.  I can use the trig function with the
largest coefficient as the best-fit sinusoid.

I am still puzzled why NonlinearFit could not do this job.  Here again
is the data if you missed it in the first message.

Is this considered a "bug" in NonlinearFit?  Or is NonlinearFit not
supposed to handle periodic functions?
