Multifractal-Multiscale Analysis of Cardiovascular Signals: A DFA-Based Characterization of Blood Pressure and Heart-Rate Complexity by Gender

Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) is a popular method for assessing the fractal characteristics of biosignals, recently adapted for evaluating the heart-rate multifractal and/or multiscale characteristics. However, the existing methods do not consider the beat-by-beat sampling of heart rate and h...
