GenerateEpisodes: Creates new episodes from old ones

In RHRV: Heart Rate Variability Analysis of ECG Data

Creates new episodes from old ones

Description

Creates new episodes, or annotated physiological events, from existing ones and stores them into the data structure containing the beat positions

Usage

GenerateEpisodes(HRVData, NewBegFrom, NewEndFrom, DispBeg, DispEnd, 
		OldTag = "", NewTag = "", verbose=NULL)

Arguments

HRVData	Data structure that stores the beats register and information related to it
NewBegFrom	Source of new beginning of episodes ("Beg" for indicating the beginning as the beginning of the old episode, "End" for end)
NewEndFrom	Source of new end of episodes ("Beg" for indicating the end as the beginning of the old episode, "End" for end)
DispBeg	Absolute displacement from the beginning for new episodes in seconds
DispEnd	Absolute displacement from the end for new episodes in seconds
OldTag	Tag of old episodes
NewTag	Tag for new episodes (if empty, copies OldTag)
verbose	Deprecated argument maintained for compatibility, use SetVerbose() instead

Value

Returns HRVData, the structure that contains beat positions register and new episodes information

Note

##Example of arguments for creating episodes displaced one
minute before old ones:
##NewBegFrom = "Beg", NewEndFrom = "End", DispBeg = -60,
DispEnd = -60
##Example of arguments for creating episodes just after previous
ones of 1 minute length:
##NewBegFrom = "End", NewEndFrom = "End", DispBeg = 0,
DispEnd = 60
