Respiratory Rate Estimation Algorithms

This repository contains algorithms for estimation of respiratory rate from the electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram. It is compatible with several publicly available datasets. Together, the algorithms and datasets provide tools to assist researchers in the development and evaluation of their own RR algorithms for estimation of RR from physiological signals.

User Manual

The accompanying Wiki acts as a user manual for the algorithms presented in this repository.
