Abstract :
A quantitative wavelet periodicity measure was defined. This measure allows the quantitative description of wavelet periodicity in the neonatal respiratory signal. An iterative algorithm for on-line estimation of the periodicity measure may be useful as one of the features for automatic evaluation of the state of consciousness in premature infants.
