function [goodbeats,badbeats,outliers] = AnnotationConversion(annotations)
% [goodbeats,badbeats,outliers] = AnnotationConversion(annotations)
%
%   OVERVIEW:   Convert annotations to a logical array, with all Normal
%               beats (labeled "N") returning as 1 and abnormal beats (not
%               labeled "N") returning as 0.
%
%   INPUT:      annotations - a charactor array containing the annotations
%               of heart beats, generated by GE MARS and then read by
%               read_qrs.m
%
%   OUTPUT:     all outputs are returned in cell array format
%               goodbeats - "N" beats
%               badbeats  - the logical inverse of goodbeats
%               outliers  - an array of points to be discarded when
%                           pre-processing the RR interval data. 
%                           This includes not only  bad beats, but the
%                           beats immediately following bad beats
