A patient monitoring system may receive a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal including samples of a pulse waveform. A plurality of morphology metric signals may be generated from the PPG signal. The system may generate an autocorrelation sequence for each of the morphology metric signals. An autocorrelation metric may be generated from each of the autocorrelation sequences and may represent the regularity or periodicity of the morphology metric signal. The autocorrelation sequences may be combined to generate a combined autocorrelation sequence, with the weighting of the autocorrelation sequences based on the autocorrelation metric. The combined autocorrelation sequence may be used to determine physiological information.
