Abstract:
|
A new method for the quantification of amplitude
variations in biomedical signals through moving approximate
entropy is presented. Unlike the usual method to calculate the
approximate entropy (ApEn), in which the tolerance value (r)
varies based on the standard deviation of each moving window,
in this work ApEn has been computed using a fixed value of r.
We called this method, moving approximate entropy with fixed
tolerance values: ApEnf. The obtained results indicate that
ApEnf allows determining amplitude variations in biomedical
data series. These amplitude variations are better determined
when intermediate values of tolerance are used. The study
performed in diaphragmatic mechanomyographic signals
shows that the ApEnf curve is more correlated with the
respiratory effort than the standard RMS amplitude
parameter. Furthermore, it has been observed that the ApEnf
parameter is less affected by the existence of impulsive,
sinusoidal, constant and Gaussian noises in comparison with
the RMS amplitude parameter. |
