Quantification of Sleep Fragmentation Through the Analysis of Sleep-Stage Transitions [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 We introduce new quantitative approaches to study sleep-stage transitions with the goal of addressing the two following questions: (i) Can the new approaches provide more information on the structure of sleep-stage transitions? (ii) How does sleep fragmentation in patients with sleep apnea affect the structure of sleep-stage transitions?
