This paper aims at optimizing the analytical methods suited for the detection of such perturbations using skin temperature signals as a circadian biomarker. Five control subjects were evaluated in this pilot study. Skin temperature was recorded every five minutes for four days. Using a novel thoracic infrared sensor. Four different interpolation methods were compared in order to replace missing values and help subsequently prolong sensor battery life. A Cosinor model was used to characterize circadian rhythms, and compute relevant parameters, with their confidence limits. A divergence study is then proposed to detect changes in these parameters. The results support the enlargement of the sample size and warrant further assessment in cancer patients. %G English %L hal-02290390 %U https://utt.hal.science/hal-02290390 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-TROYES %~ UTT %~ UTT-LIST3N %~ LM2S-UTT
