3.13.2.1 Open-loop Input Driven ARX Model. The Open-loop Input Driven ARX<br />

Model is shown in Figure 3.15. The inputs to the model are [54]:<br />

Respiration Vt(n).<br />

Systolic blood pressure, SBP(n)<br />

The output <strong>of</strong> the model is:<br />

Heart Rate, RR(n).<br />

Figure 3.15 Open-loop input driven ARX model.<br />

This figure shows an open-loop model-based approach that enables the dynamic effects<br />

<strong>of</strong> respiration and arterial systolic blood pressure on heart rate to be estimated in both<br />

COPD and normal subjects. This method is based on a two-compartment model <strong>of</strong><br />

respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), which includes a vagally mediated central<br />

component (h_rsa), and an arterial baroreflex (h_abr) component driven by both vagal<br />

and sympathetic systems. A parametric linear AutoRegressive representation with
