Explanation of features extracted from the HRCA signals

Domain Signal feature Significance
Time Standard deviation Reflects the signal variance around its mean value
Skewness Describes the asymmetry of amplitude distribution around mean
Kurtosis Describes the peakness of the distribution relative to normal distribution
Information-theoretic Lempel–Ziv Complexity Describes the randomness of the signal
Entropy rate Evaluates the degree of regularity of the signal distribution
Frequency Peak frequency (Hz) Describes the frequency of maximum power
Spectral centroid (Hz) Evaluates the median of the spectrum of the signal
Bandwidth (Hz) Describes the range of frequencies of the signal
Time–frequency Wavelet entropy Evaluates disorderly behavior for non-stationary signal
