Several studies have investigated the scaling behavior in naturally occurring biological and physical processes using techniques such as detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Data acquisition is an inherent part of these studies and maps the continuous process into digital data. The resulting digita

โฆ Synopsis
We investigate scaling properties of electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings of healthy subjects and heart failure patients based on detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). While the vast majority of scaling analysis has focused on the characterization of the long-range correlations of interbeat (i.e., beat-to-beat) dynamics, in this work we consider instead the characterization of intrabeat dynamics. That is, here we use DFA to study correlations for time scales smaller than one heart beat period (about 0.75 s). Our results show that intrabeat dynamics of healthy subject are less correlated than for heart failure dynamics. As in the case of interbeat dynamics, the DFA scaling exponents can be used to discriminate healthy and pathological data. It is shown that 0.5 h recordings suffices to characterize the ECG correlation properties.

We examine several recently suggested methods for the detection of long-range correlations in data series based on similar ideas as the well-established Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA). In particular, we present a detailed comparison between the regular DFA and two recently suggested methods: t
Quantification of the fractal scaling properties of human sleep EEG dynamics was sought and each normal sleep stage was compared with that of sleep apnea. The fractal scaling exponents that quantify power-law correlations were computed using detrended fluctuation analysis. Six healthy subjects, aged
How to quantify the complexity of a physiological signal is a crucial issue for verifying the underlying mechanism of a physiological system. The original algorithm of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) quantifies the complexity of signals using the DFA scaling exponent. However, the DFA scaling e
