This example shows how to do a simple analysis of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal and heart rate calculation.
The signal is a measure of electrical activity of the heart over time. The analysis includes removing trends and finding the max peaks in the R-wave. These calculations are performed using Live Editor Tasks to visually explore the effects of choosing different parameters.
