  <dc:title>Non-Parametric Measures of Actigraphy Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package nparACT version 0.9.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Computes interdaily stability (IS), intradaily variability (IV) &amp; the relative amplitude (RA) from actigraphy data as described in Blume et al. (2016) &lt;doi: 10.1016/j.mex.2016.05.006&gt; and van Someren et al. (1999) &lt;doi: 10.3109/07420529908998724&gt;. Additionally, it also computes L5 (i.e. the 5 hours with lowest average actigraphy amplitude) and M10 (the 10 hours with highest average amplitude) as well as the respective start times. The flex versions will also compute the L-value for a user-defined number of minutes. IS describes the strength of coupling of a rhythm to supposedly stable zeitgebers. It varies between 0 (Gaussian Noise) and 1 for perfect IS. IV describes the fragmentation of a rhythm, i.e. the frequency and extent of transitions between rest and activity. It is near 0 for a perfect sine wave, about 2 for Gaussian noise and may be even higher when a definite ultradian period of about 2 hrs is present. RA is the relative amplitude of a rhythm. Note that to obtain reliable results, actigraphy data should cover a reasonable number of days.</dc:description>
