Table 5.9 shows the summary <strong>of</strong> the principal component analysis for the three<br />

cases <strong>of</strong> the HRV study for both normal and COPD subjects. The data set for normal<br />

subjects during exercise shows the respiration rate was first principal component (PC);<br />

the blood pressure was the second PC and the partial coherence value between heart rate<br />

and blood pressure in the low frequency range was the third PC. When the first set <strong>of</strong><br />

data that combined the COPD and normal data was used, only the first PC <strong>of</strong> respiration<br />

was the same and the other two PC's were different. When the second set <strong>of</strong> the<br />

combined COPD-normal data was used, the three PC's were completely different. This<br />

fact indicates that the PCA method is not "event" dependent but the technique is only<br />

adaptive to the actual data used.
