How do I optimize the peak interval?

Hi all,

I am running a medical data in which primarily I am detecting the peaks. My task is to identify the beginning and ending of the medical phenomena near peaks. So basically I have to select a bandwidth as small as possible which would have the occurance of event. As a naive method I started it with taking anything above mean and also with 1 or 2 std dev. I want to optimize the algorithm in way which would capture the event even if there is a suddent crest or trough.

It may not be very much clear now but let me know if you have any idea and I will share some more details.

Thank you very much in advance!

I suggest you lookup the findpeaks function and its options for finding the events. Then it depends on what these events actually look like.
