The pNNx software package expands the analysis capabilities of the widely used pNN50 measure, providing researchers with the flexibility to test various thresholds for optimal discrimination of HRV in populations of interest.

ECGwaveGen generates a synthesized ECG signal with user-settable heart rate, signal duration, sampling frequency, QRS amplitude and duration, and T-wave amplitude; it uses QRSpulse to create premature beats followed by compensatory pauses.

plt is a non-interactive plotting utility originally written for Unix by Paul Albrecht. plt can produce publication-quality 2D plots in PostScript from easily-produced text or binary data files, and can also create screen plots under the X Window Sy…

SEMIA, version 3.0.1, is a tool for viewing time series of diagnostic and morphology parameters of long-term ambulatory recordings, and ST segment annotations with their corresponding ECG waveforms of the Long-Term ST Database (LTST DB). SEMIA was c…

Software for calculating multifractal partitions and moments of a time series.

Using only a heart rate time series, it is possible to measure a number of features that reflect the level of physical activity. Here we provide software for deriving an "activity index" based on measurements of mean heart rate, total powe…

Hilbert Transform based Sleep Apnea Detection using a Single Lead Electrocardiogram.

The method of detrended fluctuation analysis has proven useful in revealing the extent of long-range correlations in time series.

We introduce here the Research CardioVascular SIMulator (RCVSIM) software in order to complement research with the experimental data sets provided by PhysioBank. The human cardiovascular model upon which RCVSIM is based includes three major componen…

Detecting the presence of chaos in a dynamical system is an important problem that is solved by measuring the largest Lyapunov exponent. Lyapunov exponents quantify the exponential divergence of initially close state-space trajectories and estimate …
