This directory contains the first edition of the MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test
7
Database, reproduced here for the sake of completeness.  Unless you wish to
8
repeat an experiment based on the first edition, use the records in the main
9
`nstdb' directory of this disk (see `../nstdb/nstdb.doc').

In the main `nstdb' directory, very long-term baseline drift (less than 0.05
12
Hz) has been removed from records `bw', `em', and `ma'.  The original versions
13
of these records from the first edition of this disk are records `oldbw',
14
`oldem', and `oldma' in this directory.

The signal-to-noise ratios of the sample noise stress test records in this
17
directory are not calibrated as stated in the `readme.doc' file on the first
18
edition of this disk.  Using the same definition of SNR as for the records in
19
the main `nstdb' directory, the SNRs for these records are (in dB):
