Summary of blood pressure metrics and visualizations available in the bp package.
Fig 1.
Scatter plot of blood pressure measurements according to stages for subject 70435 of the bp_hypnos data set, the plot is obtained using the bp_scatter function segmented by VISIT and wrapped by TIME_OF_DAY.
Table 4.
Dipping classifications and their respective percentage cut-off values according to [15].
Fig 2.
Decomposition of BP readings into four time slots associated with nocturnal BP readings according to [15].
The delineation into Wake and Sleep is based on time of day (ToD argument in process_data function), or user-supplied information.

A BP report for the bp_jhs data set generated using the bp_report function.
Fig 4.
Time series plots for subjects 70435 and 70439 from the bp_hypnos data set separated by visit (top row), and by hour across all visits (bottom row).
All plots are generated using the bp_ts_plots function in the bp package.
