BuildNIHR: Builds the instantaneous heart rate signal from a beat position array
Description
The instantaneous heart rate can be defined as the inverse of the time separation between two consecutive heart beats. Once the beats have been identified, and since the only valid values contributing to the heart rate signal are the corresponding to normal beats preceded by other normal beats, a further operation should be performed for the calculation of the instantaneous heart rate.
Usage
BuildNIHR(HRVData, verbose=FALSE)
Arguments
HRVData
Data structure that stores the beats register and information related to it
verbose
Deprecated argument maintained for compatibility, use SetVerbose() instead
Value
Returns HRVData, the structure that contains beat positions register and now associated heart rate instantaneous values also
