The process in which we classify participants after generating a model for them. Participants are assigned one of five activity intensity profiles based on the shape of their energy expenditure distribution. A participant is considered to be non-vigorous if they possess fewer than five data points in the vigorous activity range. If the participant’s vigorous activity level has a significant deviation between the area under the curves of the model’s slope and the actual data points, the participant is considered to be extremely active. If the participant has neither a Non-Vigorous nor an Extremely Active activity intensity profile and they have an R2 value of less than 0.9, they are classified as an outlier. The remaining participants are then sorted into Consistent if there is no significant change between the second and third slopes of the participant, or Moderately Active if there is a change.
