Abstract
To estimate the measurement error in an ultrasound fetal heart rate (F HR) monitor, we compared the differences in the distribution of the FH R measured with an ultrasound Doppler to the FHR measured with a direc t fetal electrocardiogram. We confirm that (1) the distribution is ver y similar to Student's t distribution, and (2) the number of degrees o f freedom in Student's t distribution has a significant impact on the evaluation of Bt.
