The intraday nonparametric metrics computed for each day separately, showing within-recording drift that the pooled values hide. Interdaily stability is a between-day measure and so is not a per-day quantity; the per-day table reports L5, M10, their onset times, relative amplitude, and intradaily variability (Goncalves et al. 2014).
