CIRCAD: Automated Analysis of Circadian Core Temperature Data.

Abstract

No accepted methodologies exist to study day-to-day changes in the characteristics of the circadian rhythm. Testing different methodologies using data processing and curve-fitting functions within Microsoft Excel and Jandel Sigmaplot is prohibitively expensive in terms of both time and personnel. Use of the CIRCAD program, described in this report, dramatically reduces the amount of time required for circadian data analyses and provides the capability to quickly implement and test new analytical methods. This Technical Note includes a brief description of the software, complete program listings in the appendices, and sample input and output including both worksheet samplers and graphs.
