Abstract:
The period detection of the biological rhythms is one ofthe hot topics in the research of chronobiology,which will help to understand the mechanism of pathological changes and how the function of the clock genes affect the organism and thus guide clinical drug administration and treatment timely.Some new methods for detecting the periods of the biological rhythms,including Lomb-Scargle periodogram,spectral analysis based on Cosinor method(e.g.Percent Rhythm Spectrum and Reverse EHiptie Spectrum),and the Maximum Entropy Spectral Analysis(MESA),ale introduced in this paper.Advantages and disadvantages of the methods ale reviewed and some suggestions to the research in the future are also proposed.These methods provide promising approaches for detecting the precise periods of the biological rhythms and discovering the rule of the changes of the biological rhythms.
