Entropic Measures of Complexity of Short-Term Dynamics of Nocturnal Heartbeats in an Aging Population

Two entropy-based approaches are investigated to study patterns describing differences in time intervals between consecutive heartbeats. The first method explores matrices arising from networks of transitions constructed following events represented by a time series. The second method considers dist...
