Fig. 1.
Comparison of circadian and clock time measurements in study subjects. (Left) Distribution of DLMO25% times for all subject-days with melatonin data (n = 89; data from refs. –3); the median DLMO25% was 23:10. (Right) Local clock time vs. circadian phase (hours since DLMO25%) for all samples with available melatonin data.

TimeSignature predictions of melatonin phase [represented as Time Since DLMO25% (in hours)]. mTS refers to TimeSignature predictions for Time Since DLMO25% when trained using Time Since DLMO25% as the outcome in the training data, whereas oTS refers to TimeSignature predictions for Time Since DLMO25% using the original, local-time-trained predictor reported in ref. . Because of the close relationship between local time and DLMO25% (Fig. 1), these predictions are similar, although the melatonin-trained predictor is more accurate (as expected). Also shown are comparisons to the PLSR (mPL) and differential PLSR (dPL) models, both trained on Time Since DLMO25% in the same set of samples used for TimeSignature. Data used to reproduce this figure are available from https://github.com/braunr/TimeSignatR (7).
