Wavelet transform decomposition of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has been widely used for the analysis and detection of epileptic seizure of patients. However, the classification of EEG signals is still challenging because of high nonstationarity and high dimensionality. The aim of this work is an automatic classification of the EEG recordings by using statistical features extraction and support vector machine. From a real database, two sets of EEG signals are used: EEG recorded from a healthy person and from an epileptic person during epileptic seizures. Three important statistical features are computed at different sub-bands discrete wavelet and wavelet packet decomposition of EEG recordings. In this study, to select the best wavelet for our application, five wavelet basis functions are considered for processing EEG signals. After reducing the dimension of the obtained data by linear discriminant analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), feature vectors are used to model and to train the efficient support vector machine classifier. In order to show the efficiency of this approach, the statistical classification performances are evaluated, and a rate of 100% for the best classification accuracy is obtained and is compared with those obtained in other studies for the same dataset. However, this method is not meant to replace the clinician but can assist him for his diagnosis and reinforce his decision.

Clinical Electroencephalogram (EEG) data is of great significance to realize automatable detection, recognition and diagnosis to reduce the valuable diagnosis time. To make a classification of epilepsy, we constructed convolution support vector machine (CSVM) by integrating the advantages of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM). To distinguish the focal and non-focal epilepsy EEG signals, we firstly reduced the dimensionality of EEG signals by using principal component analysis (PCA). After that, we classified the epilepsy EEG signals by the CSVM. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of our method reach up to 99.56%, 99.72% and 99.52% respectively, which are competitive than the widely acceptable algorithms. The proposed automatic end to end epilepsy EEG signals classification algorithm provides a better reference for clinical epilepsy diagnosis.

Accurate classification of EEG left and right hand motor imagery is an important issue in brain-computer interface. Firstly, discrete wavelet transform method was used to decompose the average power of C3 electrode and C4 electrode in left-right hands imagery movement during some periods of time. The reconstructed signal of approximation coefficient A6 on the sixth level was selected to build up a feature signal. Secondly, the performances by Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis with two different threshold calculation ways and Support Vector Machine methods were compared. The final classification results showed that false classification rate by Support Vector Machine was lower and gained an ideal classification results.

AbstractEpileptic seizure (ES) is a neurological brain dysfunction. ES can be detected using the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. However, visual inspection of ES using long-time EEG recordings is a difficult, time-consuming and a costly procedure. Thus, automatic epilepsy recognition is of primary importance. In this paper, a new method is proposed for automatic ES recognition using short-time EEG recordings. The method is based on first decomposing the EEG signals on sub-signals using discrete wavelet transform. Then, from the obtained sub-signals, different non-linear parameters such as approximate entropy (ApEn), largest Lyapunov exponents (LLE) and statistical parameters are determined. These parameters along with phase entropies, calculated through higher order spectrum analysis, are used as an input vector of a multi-class support vector machine (MSVM) for ES recognition. The proposed method is evaluated using the standard EEG database developed by the Department of Epileptology, University of Bonn, Germany. The evaluation is carried out through a large number of classification experiments. Different statistical metrics namely Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp) and classification accuracy (Ac) are calculated and compared to those obtained in the scientific research literature. The obtained results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracies, which are as good as the best existing state-of-the-art methods studied using the same EEG database.

We address with this paper some real-life healthy and epileptic EEG signals classification. Our proposed method is based on the use of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). For each EEG signal, five wavelet decomposition level is applied which allow obtaining five spectral sub-bands correspond to five rhythms (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and gamma). After the extraction of some features on each sub-band (energy, standard deviation, and entropy) a moving average (MA) is applied to the resulting features vectors and then used as inputs to SVM to train and test. We test the method on EEG signals during two datasets: normal and epileptics, without and with using MA to compare results. Three parameters are evaluated such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to test the performances of the used methods.

We propose a biomimetic pattern recognition (BPR) approach for classification of proteomic profile. The proposed approach preprocess profile using iterative minimum in adaptive setting window (IMASW) method for baseline correction, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for fitting and smoothing, and average total ion normalization (ATIN) for remove the influence of vary amount of sample and degradation over time. Then principal component analysis (PCA) and BPR build classification model. With an optimization of the parameters involved in the modeling, we obtain a satisfactory model for cancer diagnosis in three proteomic profile datasets. The predicted results show that BPR technique is more reliable and efficient than support vector machine (SVM) method.
