Poincaré Plots in Analysis of Selected Biomedical Signals

Poincare plot is a return map which can help perform graphical analysis of data. We can also fit an ellipse to the plot shape by determining descriptors SD1, SD2 and SD1/SD2 ratio to study the data quantitatively. In this paper we show examples of application of Poincare plots in analysis of various kinds of biomedical signals: RR intervals, EMG, gait data and EHG.
