Event-related potentials (ERPs) are one of the most informative and dynamic methods of monitoring cognitive processes, which are widely used in clinical research to deal a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This work proposes an extraction and selection methodology for discriminating between normal and pathological patients with ADHD by using ERPs. Three different sets of features (morphological, wavelets, and nonlinear based) are analyzed, looking for the best classification accuracy. The results show that the wavelet features provided a good discriminative capability, but it improved by combining all the set of features and applying a feature selection algorithm, reaching a maximum accuracy rate of 91.3%.
Abstract. The analysis and classification of seismic patterns, which are typically registered as digital signals, can be used to monitor and understand the underlying geophysical phenomena beneath the volcanoes. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the development of automated systems for labeling those signals according to a number of pre-defined volcanic, tectonic and environmental classes. The first and crucial stage in the design of such systems is the definition or adoption of an appropriate representation of the raw seismic signals, in such a way that the subsequent stage -classification-is made easier or more accurate. This paper describes and discusses the most common representations that have been applied in the literature on classification of seismic-volcanic signals; namely, time-frequency features and cepstral coefficients. A comparative study of them is performed in terms of two criteria: (i) the leave-one-out nearest neighbor error, which provides a parameterless measure of the discriminative representational power and (ii) a visual examination of the representational quality via a scatter plot of the best three selected features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
