List of Standard statistical features

Short name Description
SDNN Standard deviation of the Normal-Normal (NN) interval.

RMSSD Square root of the mean squared differences between each successive NN interval and the mean interval.

pNN x The ratio between the number of successive NN intervals that are greater than × and the total number of NN intervals. Usually × is set either 20 ms or 50 ms [55].

NN x It is the number of successive NN intervals that are greater than x. Usually × is set to 20 ms.

HTI HRV Triangular Index: ratio of the total number of RR intervals to the number of intervals in the bin with the highest number of intervals The bin width should be around 1/128 seconds (128 Hz is the standard).

TINN The triangular interpolation of the NN interval histogram (TINN) is the width of the base of the triangle that best approximates the NN interval distribution (the minimum square difference is used to find such a triangle).

IQRNN Interquartile range of NN. It is the difference between the upper and the lower quartile values of the NN interval distribution (25% of the samples above and below the median value) [16].

SDSD Standard deviation of the first derivative of the time series [56].

Conditional probability Probability that given certain conditions, a specific event will occur [57,58]
