M10 Start Hour:
Indicates the onset of the M10 sequence
and provides an indication of the phase of the most active
hours.
RA (Relative Amplitude):
First we calculate the Amplitude
(AMP) which is the difference between the average activity
level in the M10 and that in the L5 periods. To remove
sensitivity to overall activity level, we then calculate the RA
by dividing the AMP by the sum of the L5 and M10. The
variable has a theoretical range of 0 to 1 with higher values
indicating a rhythm with higher amplitude.

Period
Click on the ‘Save Period’ button to save the selected
analysis. Long periods are not highlighted in the
MotionWise window as they would hide shorter periods
and become confusing. Instead use the ‘Longer periods’
menu from the MotionWise window to select any saved
periods greater than 24 hours.
