This study introduces a novel method to quantify periodic variations in time series data, even for non-stationary signals like infant heart rate. The technique effectively identifies and analyzes wave components across different frequencies, offering robust artifact handling.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Time series analysis often struggles with non-stationary data and artifacts.
  • Existing averaging techniques may not adequately capture periodic elements in complex biological signals.
  • Infant cardiac beat-to-beat intervals present challenges due to inherent variability and potential artifacts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a new method for assessing periodic variations in time series.
  • To demonstrate the method's utility with infant cardiac beat-to-beat interval data.
  • To provide a robust approach for quantifying periodic elements in non-stationary and artifact-contaminated data.

Main Methods:

  • The method analyzes successive increments of the time series to identify peaks and troughs.

  • It defines 'waves' by successive troughs, characterizing them by amplitude and period.
  • Iterative analysis of high-frequency peaks/troughs delineates components at progressively lower frequencies, quantifying each with median and interquartile range.

    • Main Results:

    • The described procedure quantifies periodic elements in non-stationary time series.
    • It proves robust against artifacts commonly found in beat-to-beat interval data.
    • The method allows for detailed characterization of frequency components through amplitude and period distributions.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel method offers a superior approach to analyzing periodic variations in time series compared to traditional averaging.
    • Its robustness and ability to handle non-stationary, artifact-laden data make it valuable for physiological signal analysis.
    • The technique provides a comprehensive characterization of frequency components, enhancing understanding of dynamic biological systems.
