rsleep (version 1.0.7)

detect_rpeaks: Detect R peaks in a raw ECG signal.

Description

`detect_rpeaks` implements the first part of the Pan & Tompkins algorithms to detect R peaks from a raw ECG signal.

Usage

detect_rpeaks(
  signal,
  sRate,
  lowcut = 0,
  highcut = 15,
  filter_order = 1,
  integration_window = 15,
  refractory = 200,
  return_index = FALSE
)

Value

A numeric vector of detected R peaks, expressed in seconds* from the start of the signal. This vector can be used in RHRV using `RHRV::LoadBeatVector()`.

*(or samples if return_index is TRUE)

Arguments

signal

Numerical vector of ECG signal.

sRate

ECG signal sample rate.

lowcut

Butterworth bandpass filter low cut value.

highcut

Butterworth bandpass filter high cut value.

filter_order

Butterworth bandpass filter order value.

integration_window

Convolution window size.

refractory

Minimal space between peaks in milliseconds.

return_index

If TRUE, the index for each R peak is returned instead of the timing.
