Cluster dendrogram obtained via hierarchical clustering of the participants’ pre- and post-challenge time series of FeNO.
The distance between any two-time series was calculated using the EMD. Rectangles mark the clusters and sub-clusters identified. From top to bottom: Cluster 1, Cluster 2 (subdivided into Clusters 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3), and Cluster 3 (subdivided into Clusters 3.1 and 3.2, and 3.3). Patient IDs are indicated by Pxy, their health status using H/A, denoting Healthy or Asthmatic, and their RV infection status by Uninf/Inf, which stands for Uninfected/Infected. Cluster 1 consists of time series from asthmatics which are prominently different from those from other asthmatic subjects in Cluster three and also from healthy subjects in Cluster 2. These might be regarded as outliers.

Analysis of biomarker time series in healthy and asthmatic populations using the "Earth Mover's Distance" metric.
(A) Depicts two pre-challenge time series of FeNO obtained from a healthy (blue curve), and from an asthmatic (red curve) participant, respectively. (B) Each of the time series is represented as empirical distribution. This representation of the two time series allows for the calculation of a distance or ‘dissimilarity’ between the two by means of the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD). The EMD-comparison of all possible pairs of time series (both pre- and post-challenge) results in a symmetric matrix of pair-wise distances, as shown in (C) using a color-coded (violet to green) heat-map. Each row in this matrix corresponds to one time series. The color bar on the left hand side of the matrix encodes the ‘type’ of time series: Cyan marks a pre-challenge time series originating from a healthy participant; Blue marks a post-challenge time series originating from a healthy participant; Pink marks a pre-challenge time series originating from an asthmatic participant; Red marks a post-challenge time series originating from an asthmatic participant. The information stored in the matrix of pair-wise distances is then used within an agglomerative clustering algorithm in order to group the time series in different clusters. The outcome of this procedure is represented using a dendrogram as depicted in Figure 1 above.

Estimation of short term responses in biomarker time series induced by viral challenge.
(A) Graphical representation of a biomarker time series ti. For the calculation of short-term/transient changes, a gliding interval or window is moved, one day at a time, along the time series. The relative change between the first and last entry of the gliding window is calculated, resulting in a new time series of short-term relative changes ri. (B) A healthy participant’s time series of short-term relative changes in FeNO is depicted. A gliding interval of size 10 days was used to calculate it from the participant’s time series of FeNO measurements. The start position of the gliding window is expressed relative to the day of the viral challenge, which is marked as day 0. When the position of the gliding window was such that the day of the viral challenge was contained within the gliding window, the corresponding value of the relative change is marked in red. In order to assess the statistical significance of the short-term relative changes possibly elicited by the viral challenge, the relative change values located to the left of those marked in red were compared to the values marked in red by means of a Mann-Whitney-U-test. Visual inspection of the time series in B correctly suggests that the outcome of this test is not significant. The reason being that the relative changes within time intervals of 10 days observed prior to the viral challenge are comparable to changes observed within intervals of the same length containing the day of the viral challenge. (C) Depicting data from a different healthy participant, the situation is clearly different, as verified by a significant outcome of the corresponding Mann-Whitney-U-test. In such cases, the participant is called a ‘responder’ with respect to the ‘relative change within 10 days criterion’.

Panel A: Cluster dendrogram obtained via hierarchical clustering of the participants’ pre- and post-challenge time series of FeNO.
The distance between any two-time series was calculated using the EMD. Rectangles mark the clusters identified. Panel B displays a more detailed view of the second cluster. According to the definition of neighboring leaves provided in the text above, the leaves P03H_Uninf and P03H_Inf are neighbors in this dendrogram (highlighted in red). The reason for this is that the cophenetic distance from leaf P03H_Uninf to leaf P03H_Inf is equal to the minimum of all distances from leaf P03H_Uninf to all other leaves in the dendrogram. This is not the case for the leaf P03H_Inf. However, the fact that this condition holds for at least one of the two leaves renders them neighboring. Leaves P08H_Inf and P08H_Uninf, and P11H_Inf and P11H_Uninf, are neighbors, respectively (the latter pair is not marked in color). P08A_Inf and P08A_Uninf are also neighbors; In this case, the minimum condition is fulfilled by both leaves for of this leaf-pair. This is why the two leaves form a two-element cluster in the dendrogram. Panel C displays a more detailed view of the third cluster. Analogous information about neighboring leaves in Cluster three is highlighted in blue. However, as opposed to Cluster 2 (depicted in Panel B), the amount of neighboring leaves in Cluster three is not statistically significant (permutation test, see Table 2 in the Main Manuscript).
Tables
Biomarkers/parameters measured in each cohort participant during two months before, and during one month immediately after deliberate experimental inoculation with rhinovirus.
The corresponding sampling frequencies can be found in columns 2 and 3. See the Materials and methods section below for more details on the study design, and on the measurement procedures and laboratory assays used. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second. FVC: forced vital capacity. PEF: peak expiratory flow. FeNO: fractional expired concentration of nitric oxide.
Biomarker or parameter | Sampling frequency before rhinovirus challenge | Sampling frequency after rhinovirus challenge |
---|---|---|
Lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF) | 2x daily | 2x daily |
Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) | 3x weekly | 3x weekly |
Eosinophil and neutrophil cell density in nasal lavage fluid | 1x weekly | 3x weekly |
Composition, enrichment analysis, and grouping characteristics of the clusters found by comparison of each participant’s pre- and post-challenge time series of FeNO.
Enrichment is marked in bold letters, depletion in italics; the corresponding p-values were calculated using the hypergeometric test. The empirical p-values for the proportion of pre- and post-pairs were calculated using simulated permutations (see Materials and methods section). A participant is fully represented in a given cluster if both their pre- and post-challenge time series of measurements are contained in the cluster. For example, the healthy participant ‘P08H’ is fully represented in Cluster 2, as both their pre- and post-challenge time series of FeNO measurements are members of Cluster 2 (see Figure 1 below). Partial representation corresponds to the scenario in which only one of the two time series (pre- and post-challenge) is a member of the cluster. For instance, the asthmatic participant " P07A’ is only partially represented in Cluster 2, because their pre-challenge time series of FeNO measurements is part of Cluster 2, whereas their post-challenge time series of FeNO belongs to Cluster 3 (see Figure 1 below). See also the Materials and methods section for the definition of neighbors.

Proportions of responders within the groups of healthy and asthmatic participants, respectively.
Two different criteria were used in order to establish a statistically significant response. According to the first criterion, a participant is considered a responder with respect to a given biomarker if the outcome of comparing the pre-challenge time series and the post-challenge time series of the same biomarker by means of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test results in a p-value<=0.05 (columns 2 and 3). According to the second criterion, a participant is considered a responder with respect to a given biomarker if the outcome of comparing, by means of a Mann-Whitney-U-test, the magnitude of relative changes observed during 10 day time intervals prior to the challenge with the magnitude of relative changes that took place during 10 day time intervals that contained the day of the challenge results in a p-value<=0.05 (columns 4 and 5). For calculating the proportion of responders within each group the p-values were corrected for multiple testing using the false discovery rate (FDR) method of Benjamini and Hochberg. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second. FVC: forced vital capacity. PEF: peak expiratory flow. FeNO: fractional expired concentration of nitric oxide. The lung function parameters FEV1 and FVC, and thereby their ratio FEV1/FVC, were normalized using the standardized reference equations recommended by Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Task Force for comparisons across different populations.
