Features used for arousal detection. Features 1–11 were computed for 30 s windows. Features 12–13 were computed for local windows of length 5 s and 15 s and global windows of length 30 s and 180 s, respectively. Features 14–15 were computed on a beat-to-beat basis. Features 16–25 were calculated in 1 s bins.

RR = RR interval; ()¯ = mean; SDNN = standard deviation of RR; SDSD = standard deviation of RR differences; RMSSD = root mean square of successive RR differences; MAD = mean absolute difference; MSLD = median signed local difference; LR = likelihood ratios; HF = high frequency; LF = low frequency; VLF = very low frequency; TP = total power; CTW = continuous wavelet transformation; NREM = non-rapid eye movement; REM = rapid eye movement.
