CapnoBase IEEE TBME RR benchmark (Karlen 2013)
The CapnoBase TBME RR benchmark contains 42 eight-minute recordings with PPG and respiration, used to compare respiratory rate algorithms on the same data. The authors ask that it not be used to train or tune algorithms, because that would bias the comparison.

Original description
The CapnoBase TBME RR benchmark dataset contains 42 cases of 8-min recordings. In addition to the CO2 waveforms (capnograms), these cases have also the Photoplethysmogram (PPG) from pulse oximetry available. Labels from an expert are available for pulse peaks from PPG and breaths from CO2. Also, the benchmark contains the results from the Karlen et al. IEEE TBME paper on multi-parameter RR calculation. This can be used to directly compare algorithm performances. The benchmark dataset is used by researchers to test and compare algorithms. This dataset should not be used to train or tune an algorithm as it may bias the performance results.
