## Correction of artifacts

This is a summary, please refer to the Lipponen paper, section *2.2 Correction of erroneous heartbeats*.
The paper also provides guidance on correction of erroneous heartbeats:

## Correction of artifacts

This is a summary, please refer to the Lipponen paper, section *2.2 Correction of erroneous heartbeats*.

```
*Extra beats* are corrected by removing the extra R-
wave detection corresponding to the detected short
RR interval and RR interval series is then recalculated.
*Missed beats* are corrected by adding new R-wave
occurrence time so that it divides the detected long
RR interval into two equal halves and RR interval series
is then recalculated.
*Long or short beats*, are corrected by interpolating
new values to the RR time series.
*Ectopic beats* are corrected by replacing corrupted
RR times by interpolated RR values.
```
