Novel statistical approach for assessing the persistence of the circadian rhythms of social activity from telephone call detail records in older adults
Abstract How circadian rhythms of activity manifest themselves in social life of humans remains one of the most intriguing questions in chronobiology and a major issue for personalized medicine. Over the past years, substantial advances have been made in understanding the personal nature and the rob...
