Abstract
The Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZ) has been widely used to evaluate the randomness of finite sequences. In general, the LZ complexity has been used to determine the complexity grade present in biomedical signals. The LZ complexity is not able to discern between signals with different amplitude variations and similar random components. On the other hand, amplitude parameters, as the root mean square (RMS), are not able to discern between signals with similar power distributions and different random components. In this work, we present a
novel method to quantify amplitude and complexity variations in biomedical signals by means of the computation of the LZ
coefficient using more than two quantification states, and with thresholds fixed and independent of the dynamic range or
standard deviation of the analyzed signal: the Multistate Lempel-Ziv (MLZ) index. Our results indicate that MLZ index with few quantification levels only evaluate the complexity changes of the signal, with high number of levels, the amplitude variations, and with an intermediate number of levels informs about both amplitude and complexity variations. The study performed in diaphragmatic mechanomyographic signals
shows that the amplitude variations of this signal are more correlated with the respiratory effort than the complexity
variations. Furthermore, it has been observed that the MLZ index with high number of levels practically is not affected by
the existence of impulsive, sinusoidal, constant and Gaussian noises compared with the RMS amplitude parameter.
