        ECG Detectors
        =============
        
        A collection of 8 ECG heartbeat detection algorithms implemented in Python. Developed in conjunction with a new ECG database: http://researchdata.gla.ac.uk/716/. This repository also contains a testing class for the MITDB and the new University of Glasgow database. In addition the module `hrv` provides tools to
        analyse heartrate variability.

        ECG Detector Class Usage
        ========================
        
        Before the detectors can be used the class must first be initalised with the sampling rate of the ECG recording:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
          from ecgdetectors import Detectors
          detectors = Detectors(fs)
        
        See `usage_example.py` for an example of how to use the detectors and
        the documentation here: https://berndporr.github.io/py-ecg-detectors/

        Heartrate variability analysis
        ==============================
        
        The module `hrv` provides a large collection of heartrate
        variability measures which are methods of the class `HRV`::
        
          HR(self, rr_samples)
             Calculate heart-rates from R peak samples.
        
          NN20(self, rr_samples)
             Calculate NN20, the number of pairs of successive
             NNs that differ by more than 20 ms.
        
          NN50(self, rr_samples)
             Calculate NN50, the number of pairs of successive
             NNs that differ by more than 50 ms.
        
          RMSSD(self, rr_samples, normalise=False)
             Calculate RMSSD (root mean square of successive differences).
        
          SDANN(self, rr_samples, average_period=5.0, normalise=False)
             Calculate SDANN, the standard deviation of the average
             RR intervals calculated over short periods.
        
          SDNN(self, rr_samples, normalise=False)
             Calculate SDNN, the standard deviation of NN intervals.
        
          SDSD(self, rr_samples)
             Calculate SDSD (standard deviation of successive differences),
             the standard deviation of the successive differences between adjacent NNs.
        
          fAnalysis(self, rr_samples)
             Frequency analysis to calc self.lf, self.hf,
             returns the LF/HF-ratio.
        
          pNN20(self, rr_samples)
             Calculate pNN20, the proportion of NN20 divided by total number of NNs.
        
          pNN50(self, rr_samples)
             Calculate pNN50, the proportion of NN50 divided by total number of NNs.
        
        For parameters and additional info use the python help function::
        
          import hrv
          help(hrv)
        
        The example `hrv_time_domain_analysis.py` calculates the heartrate
        variability in the timedomain.
        
        
        Realtime / Causal processing
        ============================
        Most ECG R-peak detectors won't detect the actual R-peak so the name
        "R-peak detector" is a misnomer. However in practise this won't play
        any role as only the temporal differences between R-peaks play a role.
        Most detectors work with a threshold which moves the detection forward in time
        and use causal filters which delay the detection. Only a
        few detectors do actually a maximum detection but even they will be
        most likely introducing delays as the ECG will be always filtered by causal
        filters. In other words most
        detectors cause a delay between the R peak and its detection. That delay
        should of course be constant so that the resulting HR and HRV is correct.
