[hal-01076445] Multi-scale similarity entropy as a complexity descriptor to discriminate healthy to distress foetus

This paper deals with the discrimination between suffering foetuses and normal foetuses by means of a multi-scale similarity entropy Sample entropy and similarity entropy are evaluated in multi-scale analysis on foetal heart rate signals Without multi-scale analysis our results show that only the similarity entropy differentiate suffering foetuses to normal foetuses Furthermore with the multi-scale analysis our results show that both the sample entropy and the similarity entropy can discriminate the distressed foetuses to normal foetuses In all cases the similarity entropy outperforms the sample entropy that is encouraging for another biomedical applications
