Abstract:
Approximate Entropy (ApEn) and Sample Entropy (SampEn) have proven to be a valuable analyzing tool for a number of physiological signals. However, the characterization of these metrics is still lacking. We applied ApEn and SampEn to body temperature time series recorded from patients in critical state. This study was aimed at finding the optimal analytical configuration to best distinguish between survivor and non-survivor records, and at gaining additional insight into the characterization of such tools. A statistical analysis of the results was conducted to support the parameter and metric selection criteria for this type of physiological signal.

Entropy
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...

The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
