weighted-average value <strong>of</strong> the coherence between the range <strong>of</strong> frequencies fl and 12.<br />

This value was calculated according to equation 3.85 discussed in section 3.10 before<br />

and would be used as a parameter in the system identification analysis.<br />

4.2.5 Coherence and Weighted Coherence Analysis <strong>of</strong> HR and Blood pressure<br />

This analysis is similar to the coherence analysis <strong>of</strong> heart rate and respiration just<br />

described above with the exception that the blood pressure IIBI (detected and corrected<br />

the same way as the blood pressure spectral analysis) was used instead <strong>of</strong> the raw<br />

respiration signal. The heart rate IIBIs and the blood pressure IIBIs were input into the<br />

coherenc.vi to create the coherence plot and the weighted coherence value in the same<br />

fashion as the coherence and weighted coherence analysis <strong>of</strong> heart rate and respiration.<br />

4.2.6 Partial Coherence<br />

This analysis was similar to the coherence analysis. The heart rate IIBIs, the blood<br />

pressure IIBIs and the respiration signal were inputted into the pcoherenc.vi to create the<br />

partial coherence plots and the weighted coherence values in the same fashion as the<br />

coherence and weighted coherence analysis but using the equations 3.86 - 3.91 described<br />

in section 3.11 and 3.12.
