PPG and HRV visual diagnostics¶
Frozen R source: reference/vignettes/articles/ppg-hrv-visual-diagnostics.Rmd
This page is the Python migration companion for the corresponding gpbiometrics 2.0.0 article. The original R article is retained verbatim in reference/vignettes/; this companion identifies the matching Python API so the scientific workflow can be reproduced without hiding the reference implementation.
Python API crosswalk¶
The frozen R article calls the following exported functions; all are available under the same names in gpbiometricspy:
gp.audit_gazepoint_ibi_quality(...)gp.correct_gazepoint_beats(...)gp.create_gazepoint_biometrics_report_tables(...)gp.create_gazepoint_qc_supplement(...)gp.detect_gazepoint_ppg_peaks(...)gp.estimate_gazepoint_respiration_from_ppg(...)gp.extract_gazepoint_hrv_features(...)gp.filter_gazepoint_ibi_implausible(...)gp.filter_gazepoint_ppg_signal(...)gp.plot_gazepoint_ppg_breathing(...)gp.plot_gazepoint_ppg_peak_detection(...)gp.plot_gazepoint_ppg_poincare(...)gp.remove_gazepoint_ppg_baseline_wander(...)gp.summarise_gazepoint_hrv_features(...)gp.summarize_gazepoint_beat_corrections(...)
import gpbiometricspy as gp
# Example entry point from this workflow
# result = gp.audit_gazepoint_ibi_quality(...)
Interpretation¶
Use the same conservative physiological interpretation as the R package: derived biometric features are signal-processing outputs and do not directly establish emotion, stress, cognition, preference, health status, or diagnosis.
Executable Python companion¶
The frozen R call crosswalk above is retained for completeness. The following companion is an executable end-to-end Python workflow using synthetic/public data and the same scientific domain. It is also executed by the test suite.
Run from the repository root:
from __future__ import annotations
from _shared import *
d=pulse_frame(100,20); det=gp.detect_gazepoint_ppg_peaks(d,'pulse','time_s',['participant'],100,high_precision=False); rr=gp.reject_gazepoint_ppg_peaks(det['peaks']); measures=gp.compute_gazepoint_ppg_measures(rr); fig=gp.plot_gazepoint_ppg_peak_detection(det); finish('ppg-hrv-visual-diagnostics',peaks=det,rr=rr,measures=measures,figure=fig)
Rendered Python output¶
These figures are generated from bundled synthetic/public data by scripts/generate_docs_gallery.py using the current Python plotting API.
