aMetrics of agreement for overall heart rate estimates from the devices against PSG electrocardiogram (ECG) estimates (beats per minute) at various temporal resolutions.

bPSG: polysomnography.

cBias is the difference in measurement between the device and PSG ECG (device–PSG ECG).

dLoA: limits of agreement.

eMDC: minimum detectable changes; smallest detectable change independent of measurement error (half of Bland-Altman agreement width).

fMAE: mean absolute error.

gSAD: standardized absolute difference; a directionless version of Cohen d.

hMAPE: mean absolute percentage error.

iICC: intraclass correlation coefficient; with two-way random effects (measures of measurement reliability).

jWSA: Withings sleep analyzer.
