You could take a look at the package phenology.
It fits several periodic functions (cosine) onto timeseries of counts.
I don't know what you want exactly and so I don't know if it can be on 
some help.
In case it does not what you look for, we could discuss as I develop 
this package.

A common alternative is to use fourrier transforms.

Sincerely

Marc
