An online Received in revised form analysis method of HRV spectral parameters based on the modified Hilbert–Huang Transform 11 May 2015 (HHT) is proposed in the paper. A number of novel methods have been put forward to meet Accepted 18 May 2015 the demand of causal pre-processing of interbeat time intervals (IBI) series prior to application Available online xxx of HHT. Also in the real-time implementation of the HHT which is the combination of the Empirical Mode Decomposition and Hilbert spectral analysis an original extrapolation method Keywords: of intrinsic mode function related to LF and HF spectral parameters was applied. The proposed Heart Rate Variability algorithm allows temporal estimation of HRV spectral parameters in real-time with delays HRV
