Table 2.

Summary of feature extraction in normal and imputed conditions. The variable nx denotes the sample position.

Feature Definition Normal Condition Imputed Condition
Systolic peak (nsys.) PPG peak in systole nZC(1) in systole with the largest 1. nmin(last)<ne(1) if nmin(last)<ne(1)[nd,ne]
PPG amplitude 2. nd
Notch (nnotch) PPG local minimum around nZC(1) 1. Same as imputed systolic peak 1.
systole boundary or imputed diastolic peak 1.
2. ne
Diastolic peak (ndia.) PPG peak in diastole first nZC(1) in diastole 1. nmax(1)>ne(1) if nmax(1)>ne(1)[ne,nf]
2. nf
Maximal slope (nms) First local maximum in FDPPG First nZC(2) nmin(1)(2)
Point a (na) First local maximum in SDPPG First nZC(3) -
Point b (nb) First local minimum in SDPPG First nZC(3) nmax(2)(3)
Point c (nc) Last local maximum in SDPPG Last nZC(3)[na,ne] 1. nmax(2)(3) if degeneration of b and c1
before ne 2. nmin(2)(3) if degeneration of c1 and d1
3. nmax(3)(3) if degeneration of d1 and c2
4. nmin(3)(3) if degeneration of c2 and d2
Point d (nd) Last local minimum in SDPPG Last nZC(3)[na,ne] 1. nmin(2)(3) if degeneration of c1 and d1
before ne 2. nmax(3)(3) if degeneration of d1 and c2
3. nmin(3)(3) if degeneration of c2 and d2
Point e (ne) Local maximum in SDPPG nZC(3)[0.16Ts+0.1N,0.3Ts+0.1N] -
around end-systolic boundary
Point f (nf) First local minimum in SDPPG First nZC(3) after ne -
