Deviations from typical paths: a novel approach to working with GPS data in the behavioral sciences

Table 3 Summary measures of average and maximum deviation per day

Day	Average deviation	Maximum deviation	Observations
1	20.20	125.07	1281
2	24.91	124.31	1141
3	45.29	591.90	3311
4	27.98	619.43	23285
5	21.51	214.26	6201
6	21.74	124.57	880

Summarized deviations from the estimated typical path show that a single principal curve can closely approximate observed travel behavior over several days while highlighting day-to-day variability.
