Abstract

Hrv is an open-source Data Science project. A Python package for heart rate variability analysis. techniques to extract information about cardiac autonomic functions through RRi series and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analyses without losing the Power and Flexibility of a native Python object. It is built using Jupyter Notebook, Python. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License, making it a useful reference for students building a Data Science mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

techniques to extract information about cardiac autonomic functions through RRi series and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analyses without losing the Power and Flexibility of a native Python object.

In other words, the hrv module eases the manipulation, inspection, pre-processing, visualization, and analyses of HRV-related information. Additionally, it is written with idiomatic code and tries to implement the API of a built-in object, which might make it intuitive for Python users.

For a more in-depth explanation of how hrv works, please Read the documentation

2. Objective

A Python package for heart rate variability analysis

This project demonstrates how Jupyter Notebook, Python can be applied to a real-world Data Science problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. What is the source of the dataset and how was missing data handled?
  2. Which exploratory analysis steps revealed the most useful insight?
  3. Why were these particular charts chosen to present the data?
  4. Which statistical or ML technique supports the conclusions?
  5. How could the analysis be automated or refreshed with new data?
