Abstract

This study presents and evaluates the mathematical model to estimate the mean and variance of single-lead ECG signals in sleep apnea syndrome. Our objective is to use the volatility property of the ECG signal for modeling. ECG signal is a stochastic signal whose mean and variance are time-varying. So, we propose to decompose this nonstationarity into two additive components; a homoscedastic Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and a heteroscedastic time series in terms of Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (EGARCH), where the former captures the linearity property and the latter the nonlinear characteristics of the ECG signal. First, ECG signals are segmented into one-minute segments. The heteroskedasticity property is then examined through various tests such as the ARCH/GARCH test, kurtosis, skewness, and histograms. Next, the ARIMA model is applied to signals as a linear model and EGARCH as a nonlinear model. The appropriate orders of models are estimated by using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). We assess the effectiveness of our model in terms of mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The data in this article is obtained from the Physionet Apnea-ECG database. Results show that the ARIMA-EGARCH model performs better than other models for modeling both apneic and normal ECG signals in sleep apnea syndrome.
