142 4.2.8 System Identification Analysis All the system identification tasks were performed using the commercially available MATLAB System Identification Toolbox (The MathWorks, Inc.). The physiological data acquired from COPD and normal subjects were used for building simplified models of complex systems from respiration signals as noisy time-series data. The mathematical ARX models of dynamic cardiovascular systems based on observed input/output data were obtained. The time and frequency response plots as well as the pole-zero plots were also acquired. The control parameters of the estimated models such as ARX coefficients, the model order, and the transfer function parameters such as the overall gain, DC gain, 3 dB points and phase responses were tabulated for each subject. 4.2.9 Analysis of generation of Broadband respiration signal Part of the method of investigation for noninvasively characterizing the ANS in humans was to determine the system response at all frequencies of interest simultaneously through the use of broadband input waveforms. Berger, Saul, et al. [44] described a simple method for eliciting a broadband respiration signal without significantly altering the normal ventilatory mechanics. In their study the broadband respiratory signal was obtained by instructing the subject to start inhale/exhale as cued by a sequence of beeps (100 ms long), which is generated by a PDP-11/23 computer. The computer programs then beep evenly at a preset rate 2 0 for a few minutes so that the subject can find a comfortable depth of inspiration. The computer then switches to a mode in which the beeps were spaced at irregular intervals chosen randomly from a given distribution but
