Predicting termination of atrial fibrillation (AF), based on noninvasive techniques, can be invaluable in order to avoid useless therapeutic interventions and to minimize the risks for the patients. Currently, no reliable method exists to predict the termination of AF. We propose an algorithm for predicting termination of AF using higher order statistical moments of R-R interval signal calculated in both time and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) domains. In the proposed method, R-R interval signal is decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and higher order moments including skewness, and kurtosis, as well as mean and variance, are calculated from the first four IMFs. The appropriateness of these features in predicting the termination of AF is studied using atrial fibrillation termination database (AFTDB) which consists of three types of AF episodes: N-type (non-terminated AF episode), S-type (terminated 1'min after the end of the record), and T-type (terminated immediately after the end of the record). By using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for classification of AF episodes, we obtained sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictivity 92.47%, 95.29%, and 92.80%, respectively. The important advantage of the proposed method compared to the other existing approaches is that our algorithm can simultaneously discriminate the three types of AF episodes with high accuracy. The results demonstrate that the EMD domain is a particularly well-suited domain for analyzing nonstationary and nonlinear R-R interval signal in AF termination prediction application.

This paper presents an improved gearbox fault diagnosis approach by integrating complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) with permutation entropy (PE). The presented approach identifies faults appearing in a gearbox system based on PE values calculated from selected intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of vibration signals decomposed by CEEMD. Specifically, CEEMD is first used to decompose vibration signals characterizing various defect severities into a series of IMFs. Then, filtered vibration signals are obtained from appropriate selection of IMFs, and correlation coefficients between the filtered signal and each IMF are used as the basis for useful IMFs selection. Subsequently, PE values of those selected IMFs are utilized as input features to a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for characterizing the defect severity of a gearbox. Case study conducted on a gearbox system indicates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for identifying the gearbox faults.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) which is a chronic disease and difficult to cure. If diabetes is not treated in a timely manner, it may cause serious complications. For timely treatment, an early detection of the disease is of great interest. Diabetes can be detected by analyzing the RR-interval signals. This work presents a methodology for classification of diabetic and normal RR-interval signals. Firstly, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method is applied to decompose the RR-interval signals in to intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Then five parameters namely, area of analytic signal representation (AASR), mean frequency computed using Fourier-Bessel series expansion (MFFB), area of ellipse evaluated from second-order difference plot (ASODP), bandwidth due to frequency modulation (BFM) and bandwidth due to amplitude modulation (BAM) are extracted from IMFs obtained from RR-interval signals. Statistically significant features are fed to least square-support vector machine (LS-SVM) classifier. The three kernels namely, Radial Basis Function (RBF), Morlet wavelet, and Mexican hat wavelet kernels have been studied to obtain the suitable kernel function for the classification of diabetic and normal RR-interval signals. In this work, we have obtained the highest classification accuracy of 95.63%, using Morlet wavelet kernel function with 10-fold cross-validation. The classification system proposed in this work can help the clinicians to diagnose diabetes using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals.

In view of recent increase of brain computer interface (BCI) based applications, the importance of efficient classification of various mental tasks has increased prodigiously nowadays. In order to obtain effective classification, efficient feature extraction scheme is necessary, for which, in the proposed method, the interchannel relationship among electroencephalogram (EEG) data is utilized. It is expected that the correlation obtained from different combination of channels will be different for different mental tasks, which can be exploited to extract distinctive feature. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique is employed on a test EEG signal obtained from a channel, which provides a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and correlation coefficient is extracted from interchannel IMF data. Simultaneously, different statistical features are also obtained from each IMF. Finally, the feature matrix is formed utilizing interchannel correlation features and intrachannel statistical features of the selected IMFs of EEG signal. Different kernels of the support vector machine (SVM) classifier are used to carry out the classification task. An EEG dataset containing ten different combinations of five different mental tasks is utilized to demonstrate the classification performance and a very high level of accuracy is achieved by the proposed scheme compared to existing methods.

Abstract In this study, we propose a method for detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the features extracted from empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the neural networks trained by particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the classification phase. After extracting the features from the intrinsic mode functions (IMF) of each heart rate variability (HRV) signal of each segment, these features were applied to the input of popular classifiers such as multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN), Naïve Bayes, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighborhood (KNN), and support vector machines (SVM) were applied. The results show that the MLPNN learned with back propagation (BP) algorithm has a diagnostic accuracy of less than 90%, and this may be due to being derivative based property of the BP algorithm, which causes trapping in the local minima. For Improving MLPNN’s performance, we used the PSO algorithm instead of the BP method in training part. Therefore, the MLPNN’s accuracy improved from 89.36 to 97.66% after the application of the PSO algorithm. The proposed method has also reached to 97.78 and 97.96% in sensitivity and specificity, respectively. So, it can be concluded that the proposed method achieves better or comparable results when compared with the previous works in this field.

Monitoring for internal leakage of hydraulic cylinders is vital to maintain the efficiency and safety of hydraulic systems. An intelligent classifier is proposed to automatically evaluate internal leakage levels based on the newly extracted features and random forest algorithm. The inlet and outlet pressures as well as the pressure differences of two chambers are chosen as the monitoring parameters for leakage identification. The empirical mode decomposition method is used to decompose the raw pressure signals into a series of intrinsic mode functions to obtain the essence in experimental signals. Then, the features extracted from intrinsic mode functions in terms of statistical analysis are formed the input vector to train the leakage detector. The classifier based on random forest is established to categorize internal leakage into proper levels. The accuracy of the internal leakage evaluator is verified by the experimental pressure signals. Moreover, an internal leakage evaluator is established based on the support vector machine algorithm, in which the wavelet transform is applied for feature extraction. The accuracy and efficiency of different classifiers are compared based on leakage experiments. The results show that the classifier trained by the intrinsic mode function features in terms of random forest algorithm may more effectively and accurately identify internal leakage levels of hydraulic cylinders. The leakage evaluator provides probability for online monitoring of the internal leakage of hydraulic cylinders based on the inherent sensors.

Abstract Background Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by seizures and can lead to life-threatening consequences. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a diagnostic test used to analyze brain activity in various neurological conditions including epilepsy and interpreted by the clinician for appropriate diagnosis. However, the process of EEG analysis for diagnosis can be automated using machine learning algorithms (MLAs) to aid the clinician. The objective of the study was to test different algorithms that could be used for the detection of seizures. Materials and Methods Video EEG (vEEG) was collected from subjects diagnosed to have episodes of seizures. The epilepsy dataset thus obtained was subjected to empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the signal was decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The first five levels of decomposition were considered for analysis as per the established protocol. Statistical features such as interquartile range (IQR), entropy, and mean absolute deviation (MAD) were extracted from these IMFs. Results In this study, different MLAs such as nearest neighbor (NN), naïve Bayes (NB), and support vector machines (SVMs) were used to distinguish between normal (interictal) and abnormal (ictal) states. The demonstrated accuracy rates were 97.32% for NN, 99.02% for NB, and 93.75% for SVM. Conclusion Based on this accuracy and sensitivity, it may be posited that the NB classifier provides significantly better results for the detection of abnormal signals indicating that MLA can detect the seizure with better accuracy.

The prediction of mold level is a basic and key problem of continuous casting production control. Many current techniques fail to predict the mold level because of mold level is non-linear, non-stationary and does not have a normal distribution. A hybrid model, based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and support vector regression (SVR), is proposed to solve the mold level in this paper. Firstly, the EMD algorithm, with adaptive decomposition, is used to decompose the original mold level signal to many intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Then, the SVR model optimized by genetic algorithm (GA) is used to predict the IMFs and residual sequences. Finally, the equalization of the predict results is reconstructed to obtain the predict result. Several hybrid predicting methods such as EMD and autoregressive moving average model (ARMA), EMD and SVR, wavelet transform (WT) and ARMA, WT and SVR are discussed and compared in this paper. These methods are applied to mold level prediction, the experimental results show that the proposed hybrid method based on EMD and SVR is a powerful tool for solving complex time series prediction. In view of the excellent generalization ability of the EMD, it is believed that the hybrid algorithm of EMD and SVR is the best model for mold level predict among the six methods, providing a new idea for guiding continuous casting process improvement.

Analysis of heart sound is of great importance to the diagnosis of heart diseases. Most of the feature extraction methods about heart sound have focused on linear time-variant or time-invariant models. While heart sound is a kind of highly nonstationary and nonlinear vibration signal, traditional methods cannot fully reveal its essential properties. In this paper, a novel feature extraction approach is proposed for heart sound classification and recognition. The ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method is used to decompose the heart sound into a finite number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the correlation dimensions of the main IMF components (IMF1~IMF4) are calculated as feature set. Then the classical Binary Tree Support Vector Machine (BT-SVM) classifier is employed to classify the heart sounds which include the normal heart sounds (NHSs) and three kinds of abnormal signals namely mitral stenosis (MT), ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic stenosis (AS). Finally, the performance of the new feature set is compared with the correlation dimensions of original signals and the main IMF components obtained by the EMD method. The results showed that, for NHSs, the feature set proposed in this paper performed the best with recognition rate of 98.67%. For the abnormal signals, the best recognition rate of 91.67% was obtained. Therefore, the proposed feature set is more superior to two comparative feature sets, which has potential application in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract The preterm birth anticipation is a crucial task that can reduce the rate of preterm birth and also the complications of preterm birth. Electrohysterogram (EHG) or uterine electromyogram (EMG) data have been evidenced that they can provide an information useful for preterm birth anticipation. Four distinct time-domain features, i.e., mean absolute value, average amplitude change, difference absolute standard deviation value, and log detector, commonly applied to EMG signal processing are applied and investigated in this study. A single-channel of EHG data is decomposed into its constituent components, i.e., intrinsic mode functions, using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) before their time-domain features are extracted. The time-domain features of intrinsic mode functions of EHG data associated with preterm and term births are applied for preterm-term birth classification using support vector machine (SVM) with a radial basis function. The preterm-term classifications are validated using 10-fold cross validation. From the computational results, it is shown that the excellent preterm-term birth classification can be achieved using a single-channel of EHG data. The computational results further suggest that the best overall performance on preterm-term birth classification is obtained when thirteen (out of sixteen) EMD-based time-domain features are applied. The best accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score achieved are, respectively, 0.9382, 0.9130, 0.9634, and 0.9366.
