SP smartphone. All effects not including the value of zero in the 95% CI interval were significant at the 0.05 level. Continuous drift parameters include continuous (i.e., time-independent) autoregressive and cross-lagged estimates in the drift matrix, Discrete drift parameters report the discrete (i.e., time-dependent) standardized effects at intervals of 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 30 days.
