| 1. A method for detecting cardiac arrhythmia, comprising:
collecting measured heart rate values;
determining a probability function for heart rate using the collect heart rate values;
selecting one or more heart rate probability values; and
determining one or more rate zone thresholds for arrhythmia rate zones from the probability function based on the one or more
probability values.
