Sleep parameters extracted from manually scored hypnograms (PSG) and from the sleep/wake state sequences resulting from the application of two selected classification models to radar and actigraphy data. Sleep onset latency was calculated from a user-marker input. The significant difference found from paired-sample Student's t-tests of each model/sensor compared to their corresponding PSG recordings are indicated with superscripts, and the standardized effect sizes are reported by Cohen's D.

*n = 12, mean age ± SD: 23.0 ± 3.1 years, 5 male, 4 nights of PSG + actigraphy + two radars per participant. The participants were randomly assigned into a training set for model development (n = 24/22 for nightstand/ceiling), and a testing set for validation (n = 23/21 for nightstand/ceiling).

The models are defined by the number of preceding (past) and succeeding (future) epochs used to score a present epoch.
