CalculateSpectrogram: Calculates the spectrogram of a signal

In RHRV: Heart Rate Variability Analysis of ECG Data

Calculates the spectrogram of a signal

Description

Calculates the spectrogram of the heart rate signal after filtering and interpolation in a window of a certain size

Usage

CalculateSpectrogram(HRVData, size, shift, sizesp = 1024, verbose=NULL)

Arguments

HRVData	Data structure that stores the beats register and information related to it
size	Size of window for calculating spectrogram (seconds)
shift	Displacement of window for calculating spectrogram (seconds)
sizesp	Points for calculating spectrogram (zero padding)
verbose	Deprecated argument maintained for compatibility, use SetVerbose() instead

Value

Returns the spectrogram of the heart rate signal

Note

An example including all the necessary steps to obtain the spectrogram
of a wfdb register is giving below:

##Reading a wfdb register and storing into a data structure:
md = CreateHRVData(Verbose = TRUE)
md = LoadBeatWFDB(md, RecordName = "register_name",
RecordPath = "register_path", verbose = TRUE)

##Calculating heart rate signal:
md = BuildNIHR(md)

##Filtering heart rate signal:
md = FilterNIHR(md)

##Interpolating heart rate signal:
md = InterpolateNIHR(md)

##Calculating spectrogram:
CalculateSpectrogram(md, size = 120, shift = 10, sizesp = 1024)
