Applying time series analyses on continuous accelerometry data-A clinical example in older adults with and without cognitive impairment.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Many clinical studies reporting accelerometry data use sum score measures such as percentage of time spent in moderate to vigorous activity which do not provide insight into differences in activity patterns over 24 hours, and thus do not adequately depict circadian a...
