ecgeval - generate and run ECG analyzer evaluation script
ecgeval
This program generates a Bourne shell (sh(1)
) script under UNIX,
or a batch file under MS-DOS, to compare a set of test annotation files
with a set of reference annotation files and a set of reference heart rate
measurement files using the programs bxb(1)
, rxr(1)
, mxm(1)
, and epicmp(1)
,
and then to produce summary reports by passing the outputs of these programs
to sumstats(1)
and plotstm(1)
.
ecgeval asks interactively for the annotator
names, the name of the database to be used, and which optional analyzer
outputs are to be evaluated. It then creates the evaluation script, and
offers the user a choice of running the script immediately, or exiting
(in order to review and perhaps edit the script before running it).
It
may be necessary to set and export the shell variable WFDB (see setwfdb(1)
).
- dblist
- This file, which should be located in one of the directories
named by WFDB, contains a list of the available databases. Each entry is
a line containing three tab-separated fields: the short name for the database,
the name of a file (which must also be in one of the directories named
by WFDB) containing a list of the record names for the database, and a
longer name for the database. Empty lines and lines beginning with ‘#’ are
ignored. The version of this file distributed with the WFDB software package
contains:
MIT DB mitlist MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database
MITx DB mitxlist MIT-BIH Arrhythmia
Database (excluding paced records)
AHA DB ahalist AHA Database for Evaluation
of Ventricular Arrhythmia Detectors
