Description

CORRELATION: r

Indicates the degree of linear relationship

(Coefficient of Correlation)

between two variables. It ranges from +1 to

 

-1. A correlation of +1 means that there is a

 

perfect positive linear relationship between

 

variables.

Sys – dia

In the plotted 24-hour blood pressure data,

 

indicates high blood pressure using the limits

 

of the systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Sys – pul

In the plotted 24-hour blood pressure data,

 

indicates the degree to which the pulse and

 

the systolic blood pressure are related.

Reg. Line (Regression Line)

A line drawn through a scatterplot of two

 

variables so that the line comes as close to

 

the points as possible.

Histogram

A graphical representation of a frequency

 

distribution by means of rectangles.

 

The widths represent intervals. The heights

 

represent the number of observations

 

occurring in each interval.

F

Full analysis

P

Partial analysis

Description

 

 

 

Cosinor (Cosine Vector)

Circadian

rhythm

analysis

method

 

introduced by Halberg et al (1967).

 

 

In Cosinor, twenty-four hours are plotted

 

on. Acrophase and Amplitude of Acrophase

 

are indicated on an r-axis.

 

 

95% confidence interval is used. If the

 

interval does not include the origin, the data

 

is interpreted that a statistically meaningful

 

rhythm exists. If the interval includes the origin,

 

the data is interpreted that the significance level

 

is 5% and the rhythm is rejected.

 

MESOR

Indicates the objectively-expressed mean

(Midline Estimating Statistic of Rhythm)

value of the circadian rhythm, with no bias

 

due to the considerations on the difference

 

of the day and night sampling numbers,

 

and the difference of the day and night

 

sampling intervals.

 

 

 

More accurate ABPM mean value when the

 

sampling intervals are not constant.

 

Amp. Amplitude

Amplitude of a cosine curve best fitted to

 

the biological rhythm data.

 

Acrophase

Phase that represents the maximum value

 

of a cosine curve best fitted to the biological

 

rhythm data. For example, an acrophase

 

indicates a time duration in which the

 

highest systolic blood pressure is obtained.
