Abstract
A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may generate a correlation sequence using two segments of the physiological signal. The system may determine a first correlation lag value that corresponds to a peak in the correlation sequence, and also determine a second correlation lag value equal to a fraction of the first correlation lag value. The fraction may be, for example, one half. The system may qualify or disqualify the correlation lag value based on the correlation value at the second lag value. The system may compare the correlation value at the second lag value to a threshold, to the correlation sequence at the first lag value, or both.
