Leave-one-out prediction error of systolic arterial pressure time series under paced breathing

Abstract

In this paper, we consider systolic arterial pressure time series from healthy subjects and chronic heart failure patients, undergoing paced respiration, and show that different physiological states and pathological conditions may be characterized in terms of predictability of time series signals from the underlying biological system. We model time series by the regularized leastsquares approach and quantify predictability by the leave-one-out error. We find that the entrainment mechanism connected to paced breath, that renders the arterial blood pressure signal more regular and thus more predictable, is less effective in patients, and this effect correlates with the seriousness of the heart failure. Using a Gaussian kernel, so that all orders of nonlinearity are taken into account, the leave-one-out error separates controls from patients (probability less than 10 −7 ), and alive patients from patients for whom cardiac death occurred (probability less than 0.01).

Detection of synchronization from univariate data using wavelet transform

“…The presence of synchronization between these rhythmic processes is demonstrated within the wide time interval. The knowledge about synchronization between the rhythms of the cardiovascular system under paced respiration is useful for the diagnostics of its state [53]. The method allows one to detect the presence of synchronization from the analysis of the data of Holter monitor widely used in cardiology.…”

Detecting synchronization of self-sustained oscillators by external driving with varying frequency

“…Such information can be useful for example for the diagnostics of the cardiovascular system state. Synchronization between the rhythmic processes in the human cardiovascular system under paced respiration is less effective in patients than in healthy subjects, and this effect correlates with the seriousness of the heart failure [30]. Using a small variation of the relative phase or high values of phase synchronization index as criteria of synchronization one can come to wrong biological conclusions due to the mixing of analyzed signals.…”

An artificial neural network model for prediction of quality characteristics of apples during convective dehydration

“…LOO cross-validation has been shown to give an almost unbiased estimator of the generalization properties of statistical models, and therefore it provides a sensible criterion for model selection and comparison (ANCONA et al, 2005).…”
