Detailed Description

ECG heartbeat detection algorithms
General useage instructions:
r_peaks = detectors.the_detector(ecg_in_samples)
The argument ecg_in_samples is a single channel ECG in volt
at the given sample rate.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def ecgdetectors.Detectors.__init__	(		self,
			sampling_frequency = False
	)

The constructor takes the sampling rate in Hz of the ECG data.
The constructor can be called without speciying a sampling rate to
just access the detector_list, however, detection won't
be possible.

get_detector_list()

def ecgdetectors.Detectors.get_detector_list

(

self

)

Returns a 2D array of the different detectors in the form:
[[description1,detector1],[description2,detector2], ...]
where description is a string and detector a function pointer
to the detector. Use this for benchmarking to loop through
detectors.
