Characterizing Nonlinear Heartbeat Dynamics Within a Point Process Framework

Human heartbeat intervals are known to have nonlinear and nonstationary dynamics. In this paper, we propose a model of R-R interval dynamics based on a nonlinear Volterra-Wiener expansion within a point process framework. Inclusion of second-order nonlinearities into the heartbeat model allows us to...
