From: Reconstruction of the respiratory signal through ECG and wrist accelerometer data

Boxplot of average difference of respiratory rate. The differences of respiratory rates calculated from each respiration proxy and the measured flow signal has been averaged over all 30 s segments and all 223 subjects. The boxes and markers correspond to those in Fig. 1. Note that \(\varphi \) yielded a slightly lower respiratory rate (negative difference) than the other acceleration-derived proxies. The results regarding the ECG-derived proxies B1, B2, and B5 were also lower. Differences between males and females were not significant.
