Simulation data scheme is illustrated. Heartbeat time occurrences are detected from ECG. Based on the IPFM model the ANS modulating signal 𝔐(t) is estimated. Spectral analysis by Welch periodogram is computed on Inline graphic(t) in order to estimate the parameters needed for the simulation, frequency and power of LF and HF components, which are used to construct a new set of modulating signals, Inline graphic j(t), through ARMA technique, with M = 50 realizations. Then, IPFM model is used to generate simulated heartbeat occurrences t Tnj(k) with different values of T from 0.46 to 1.1 s. Simulated RR series are computed from the t Tnj(k).
