Cardiovascular diseases have become more and more prominent in recent years, which have proven to be a major threat to people's health. Accurate detection of arrhythmia in patients has important implications for clinical treatment. The aim of this study was to propose a novel automatic classification method for arrhythmia in order to improve classification accuracy. The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal was subjected preprocessing for denoising purposes using a wavelet transform. Then, the local and global characteristics of the beat, which contained RR interval features according with the clinical diagnosis criterion, morphology features based on wavelet packet decomposition and statistical features along with kurtosis coefficient, skewness coefficient and variance are exploited and fused. Meanwhile, the dimensionality of wavelet packet coefficients were reduced via principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, these features were used as the input of the random forest classifier to train the model and were then compared with the support vector machine (SVM) and back propagation (BP) neural networks. Based on 100,647 beats from the MIT-BIH database, the proposed method achieved an average accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of 99.08%, 99.00% and 89.31%, respectively, using the intra-patient beats, and 92.31%, 89.98% and 37.47%, respectively, using the inter-patient beats. Moreover, two classification schemes, namely, inter-patient and intra-patient scheme, were validated. Compared with the other methods referred to in this paper, the performance of the novel method yielded better results.

Sherry wine vinegar is a Spanish gourmet product under Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Before a vinegar can be labeled as Sherry vinegar, the product must meet certain requirements as established by its PDO, which, in this case, means that it has been produced following the traditional solera and criadera ageing system. The quality of the vinegar is determined by many factors such as the raw material, the acetification process or the aging system. For this reason, mainly producers, but also consumers, would benefit from the employment of effective analytical tools that allow precisely determining the origin and quality of vinegar. In the present study, a total of 48 Sherry vinegar samples manufactured from three different starting wines (Palomino Fino, Moscatel, and Pedro Ximénez wine) were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data were combined with unsupervised exploratory techniques such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA), as well as other nonparametric supervised techniques, namely, support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), for the characterization of the samples. The HCA and PCA results present a clear grouping trend of the vinegar samples according to their raw materials. SVM in combination with leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) successfully classified 100% of the samples, according to the type of wine used for their production. The RF method allowed selecting the most important variables to develop the characteristic fingerprint (“spectralprint”) of the vinegar samples according to their starting wine. Furthermore, the RF model reached 100% accuracy for both LOOCV and out-of-bag (OOB) sets.

Fatigue is an important factor affecting modern flight safety. It can easily lead to a decline in pilots’ operational ability, misjudgments, and flight illusions. Moreover, it can even trigger serious flight accidents. In this paper, a wearable wireless physiological device was used to obtain pilots’ electrocardiogram (ECG) data in a simulated flight experiment, and 1440 effective samples were determined. The Friedman test was adopted to select the characteristic indexes that reflect the fatigue state of the pilot from the time domain, frequency domain, and non-linear characteristics of the effective samples. Furthermore, the variation rules of the characteristic indexes were analyzed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to extract the features of the selected feature indexes, and the feature parameter set representing the fatigue state of the pilot was established. For the study on pilots’ fatigue state identification, the feature parameter set was used as the input of the learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm to train the pilots’ fatigue state identification model. Results show that the recognition accuracy of the LVQ model reached 81.94%, which is 12.84% and 9.02% higher than that of traditional back propagation neural network (BPNN) and support vector machine (SVM) model, respectively. The identification model based on the LVQ established in this paper is suitable for identifying pilots’ fatigue states. This is of great practical significance to reduce flight accidents caused by pilot fatigue, thus providing a theoretical foundation for pilot fatigue risk management and the development of intelligent aircraft autopilot systems.

We analyze the utility of multiscale supervised classification algorithms for object detection and extraction from laser scanning or photogrammetric point clouds. Only the geometric information (the point coordinates) was considered, thus making the method independent of the systems used to collect the data. A maximum of five features (input variables) was used, four of them related to the eigenvalues obtained from a principal component analysis (PCA). PCA was carried out at six scales, defined by the diameter of a sphere around each observation. Four multiclass supervised classification models were tested (linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, support vector machines, and random forest) in two different scenarios, urban and forest, formed by artificial and natural objects, respectively. The results obtained were accurate (overall accuracy over 80% for the urban dataset, and over 93% for the forest dataset), in the range of the best results found in the literature, regardless of the classification method. For both datasets, the random forest algorithm provided the best solution/results when discrimination capacity, computing time, and the ability to estimate the relative importance of each variable are considered together.

Existing dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and its variants are not suitable for target class mining due to the negligence of unique statistical properties of class-of-interest (CoI) samples. Conventionally, these approaches utilize higher or lower eigenvalued principal components (PCs) for data transformation; but the higher eigenvalued PCs may split the target class, whereas lower eigenvalued PCs do not contribute significant information and wrong selection of PCs leads to performance degradation. Considering these facts, the present research offers a novel target class-guided feature extraction method. In this approach, initially, the eigendecomposition is performed on variance–covariance matrix of only the target class samples, where the higher- and lower-valued eigenvectors are rejected via statistical analysis, and the selected eigenvectors are utilized to extract the most promising feature subspace. The extracted feature-subset gives a more tighter description of the CoI with enhanced associativity among target class samples and ensures the strong separation from nontarget class samples. One-class support vector machine (OCSVM) is evaluated to validate the performance of learned features. To obtain optimized values of hyperparameters of OCSVM a novel [Formula: see text]-ary search-based autonomous method is also proposed. Exhaustive experiments with a wide variety of datasets are performed in feature-space (original and reduced) and eigenspace (obtained from original and reduced features) to validate the performance of the proposed approach in terms of accuracy, precision, specificity and sensitivity.

This paper discusses the classification of horse gaits for self-coaching using an ensemble stacked auto-encoder (ESAE) based on wavelet packets from the motion data of the horse rider. For this purpose, we built an ESAE and used probability values at the end of the softmax classifier. First, we initialized variables such as hidden nodes, weight, and max epoch using the options of the auto-encoder (AE). Second, the ESAE model is trained by feedforward, back propagation, and gradient calculation. Next, the parameters are updated by a gradient descent mechanism as new parameters. Finally, once the error value is satisfied, the algorithm terminates. The experiments were performed to classify horse gaits for self-coaching. We constructed the motion data of a horse rider. For the experiment, an expert horse rider of the national team wore a suit containing 16 inertial sensors based on a wireless network. To improve and quantify the performance of the classification, we used three methods (wavelet packet, statistical value, and ensemble model), as well as cross entropy with mean squared error. The experimental results revealed that the proposed method showed good performance when compared with conventional algorithms such as the support vector machine (SVM).

Anomaly detection for wind turbine condition monitoring is an active area of research within the wind energy operations and maintenance (O & M) community. In this paper three models were compared for multi-megawatt operational wind turbine SCADA data. The models used for comparison were One-Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM), Isolation Forest (IF), and Elliptical Envelope (EE). Each of these were compared for the same fault, and tested under various different data configurations. IF and EE have not previously been used for fault detection for wind turbines, and OCSVM has not been used for SCADA data. This paper presents a novel method of condition monitoring that only requires two months of data per turbine. These months were separated by a year, the first being healthy and the second unhealthy. The number of anomalies is compared, with a greater number in the unhealthy month being considered correct. It was found that for accuracy IF and OCSVM had similar performances in both training regimes presented. OCSVM performed better for generic training, and IF performed better for specific training. Overall, IF and OCSVM had an average accuracy of 82% for all configurations considered, compared to 77% for EE.

This work aims at presenting a methodology for electrocardiogram (ECG)-based arrhythmia disease detection using genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized k-means clustering. The open-source ECG data from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and MIT-BIH normal sinus rhythm database are subjected to a sequence of steps including segmentation using R-point detection, extraction of features using principal component analysis (PCA), and pattern classification. Here, the classical classifiers viz., k-means clustering, error back propagation neural network (EBPNN), and support vector machine (SVM) have been initially attempted and subsequently m-fold (m = 3) cross validation is used to reduce the bias during training of the classifier. The average classification accuracy is computed as the average over all the three folds. It is observed that EBPNN and SVM with different order polynomial kernel provide significant accuracies in comparison with k-means one. In fact, the parameters (centroids) of k-means algorithm are locally optimized by minimizing its objective function. In order to overcome this limitation, a global optimization technique viz., GA is suggested here and implemented to find more robust parameters of k-means clustering. Finally, it is shown that GA-optimized k-means algorithm enhances its accuracy to those of other classifiers. The results are discussed and compared. It is concluded that the GA-optimized k-means algorithm is an alternate approach for classification whose accuracy will be near to that of supervised (viz., EBPNN and SVM) classifiers.

This paper presents a novel method of analog circuit fault diagnosis using AdaBoost with SVM-based component classifiers. We use binary-SVMs of o-a-r SVM as weak classifiers and design appropriate structure of SVM ensemble. Tent map is used to adjust parameters of SVM component classifiers for maintaining the diversity of weak classifiers. In simulation experiment, we use Monte-carlo analysis for 40kHz Sallen-Key bandpass filter and get transient response of thirteen faults. We extract feature vector by db3 wavelet packet transform and principal component analysis (PCA), and diagnose circuit faults by different methods. Simulation results show that the proposed method has the higher classification accuracy compared with other SVM methods. The generalization performance of ensemble method is good. It is suitable for practical use
