This program derives the aggregate statistics described in sections 4.6.1 and 5.6 of Testing and Reporting Performance Results of Ventricular Arrhythmia Detection Algorithms (AAMI ECAR-1987), and additional statistics specified by the American National Standard for Ambulatory Electrocardiographs (ANSI/AAMI EC38-1994).
To use this program, first generate a line-format report file using the -l or -L options of bxb(1) , epic(1) , mxm(1) , or rxr(1) . This file must include column headings so that sumstats can recognize the file type. Output is written to the standard output; it includes a copy of the input file, with aggregate statistics appended at the end.
