Abstract
We propose a nonlinear system modelling method, which
predicts characteristics of the ECG R-R interval
variation. For determining model equation, we adopted a
genetic programming method in which the chromosome
represents the model equation consisting of
time-delayed variables, constants, and four arithmetic
operators, and determines the fitness function. By
genetic programming, sequences of regressive nonlinear
equations are produced and evolved until the finding of
the optimal model equation, which could simulate the
spectral, statistical and nonlinear behaviour of the
given R-R interval dynamics. Experimental results
showed that the evolutionary approach could find the
equation which simulates the spectral and chaotic
dynamics of the given signal. Therefore, the proposed
evolutionary approach is useful for the system
identification of the nonlinear biological system.
