Qualitative analysis of pulsograms by fractility indices

Abstract

The article explores the possibility of applying modifications to the R/S- analysis method for pulsogram processing under conditions the noise level is unknown. It is shown that a fast algorithm for calculating the Hirst coefficient can be used to estimate the noise level in a pulse signal. The R/S-analysis method for pulsogram processing has been improved by optimizing the initial conditions, which makes it possible to the required pulse wave registration interval.
