Abbreviation Variable name Description
PCk Principal components/eigenvectors Contains the information about the marker movements that define the PMk
EVk Eigenvalues Absolute contribution of PMk to overall variance
PPk(t) Principal positions Time-series that quantifies the evolution of the posture with respect to PCk
PVk(t) Principal velocities Time-series that quantifies the velocity of the postural changes defined by PMk
PAk(t) Principal accelerations Time-series that quantifies the acceleration of the postural changes defined by PMk
rEVk Relative eigenvalues Relative contribution of PMk to overall variance
rVARk Relative variances Relative contribution of PMk to variance produced by trial.
rSTDk Relative standard deviations Relative contribution of PMk to movement of trial.
CUM_rEVk Cumulative relative eigenvalues Cumulative relative contribution of PMk to overall variance.
CUM_rVARk Cumulative relative variances Cumulative relative contribution of PMk to variance produced by trial.
CUM_rSTDk Cumulative relative standard deviations Cumulative relative contribution of PMk to movement in trial.
RVm Residual variance Unexplained variance after setting threshold of PM-order m.
Nk number of PA zero crossings Number of interventions of the control system with respect to the movement defined by PMk
σk Standard deviation of times between zero crossings Standard deviation of times between the interventions of the control system with respect to the movement defined by PMk
