abstract：OBJECTIVE:Sleep-stage scoring is important for sleep-quality evaluation and the diagnosis of related diseases. In this study, an automatic sleep-stage scoring method using photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals was proposed. APPROACH:To construct the classification model, we extracted 14 time-domain features, 17 frequenc...
