What this work gives Aellic
ln(RMSSD) is the most practical measure for day-to-day monitoring; the log transform normalises the right-skewed RMSSD distribution, and the paper establishes that averaging is required at all, rather than reading single measurements. NOT supported are the specific window lengths (14 nights minimum, 7 days acute, 30 days chronic) — those are design decisions.

Until then the registry recorded this entry as “Frontiers in Physiology 6:343” with the year 2015. That citation belongs to Schmitt/Regnard/Millet 2015, a different paper by different authors.
The entry on the register was wrong. It was not replaced but kept, with what holds instead standing next to it.
