Fast Time Series Detrending with Applications to Heart Rate Variability Analysis

Here we discuss a new fast detrending method for the non-stationary RR time series used in Heart Rate Variability analysis. The described method is based on the diffusion equation, and we show numerically that it is equivalent to the widely used Smoothing Priors Approach (SPA) and Wavelet Smoothing Approach (WSA) methods. The speed of the proposed method is comparable to the WSA method and it is several orders of magnitude faster than the SPA method, which makes it suitable for very long time series analysis.
