Table 6 The nonlinear CVs of EBSs

From: Changes in bowel sounds of inpatients undergoing general anesthesia

Nonlinear CVs

Calculation methods

Physiological significance

RR

The percentage of recurrent points falling within the specified radius

Reflect the similarity of signal fluctuation

Lmean

The mean of the diagonal lengths in recurrence plot

Related to the separation velocity of adjacent trajectories

ENTR

The Shannon information entropy of all diagonal line lengths

A measure of signal complexity

TT

The average length of vertical line structures

Degree of system stability
