Linear and parabolic dependence of non-linear indices on RR was evaluated. Coefficient of determination (R2) as well as Pearson correlation factor and p-values (considering subject-specific and median correction) and ξ correction factor are presented for both regressions. Pearson correlation factor ρ and p-values of non-linear indices and RR obtained interpolating the simulated RR time series at 2 Hz. Data are given as median ± interquartile range.
