Hi.  Not sure if this helps...

Symbolic data (x,y) pairs:

v=Array[x,{4,2}];

Your equation for AveragePeriod:

AveragePeriod=Plus@@Table[v[[i+1,1]]-v[[i,1]],{i,1,Length[v]-1}]/(Length[v]-1)
(1/3) * (x[4,1] - x[1,1])

Mean[Differences[v[[All,1]]]]
(1/3) * (x[4, 1] - x[1, 1])

%% == %
True

Which would be true with your statement --It assumes the data is evenly spaced.--

= = = = = = = = = =
HTH  :>0
