Hi
I don’t have that much experience in MATLAB, I hope someone can point me in the right direction, I am looking at breathing and the rate and various ways to detect this. I am currently looking into Cross correlation and auto correlation can somebody please help me setup some basic code and give me a few pointers.
I have attached a file which has 6000 samples, 100 samples per second, over 60 seconds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David

Try this:
s = load('raw_data.mat')
y = s.raw_ad_data_sine;
plot(y, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
% Find peaks
[peakValues, indexesOfPeaks] = findpeaks(y, 'MinPeakDistance', 200, 'Threshold', 1000);
% Plot them.
hold on;
plot(indexesOfPeaks, y(indexesOfPeaks), 'rv', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 10);
% Find valleys
[valleyValues, indexesOfValley] = findpeaks(-y, 'MinPeakDistance', 200, 'Threshold', 1000);
valleyValues = -valleyValues;
% Plot them.
hold on;
plot(indexesOfValley, y(indexesOfValley), 'r^', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 10);

Not sure what that means but you can create an x axis if you want with linspace. If the total length of y is 60 seconds, you can make x like
x = linspace(0, 60, length(y));
