Comparison of feature selection methods in ECG signal classification

Published: 14 January 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In past years, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been applied to select features for classification applications. This paper presents a performance comparison between PCA and Non-overlap Area Distribution Measurement (NADM), which is based on a neural fuzzy network. This paper performs an experiment on Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) and Ventricular Tachycardia/Fibrillation (VT/VF) classification with the two feature selection methods. The performance result is 89.34% while the number of initial features is projected from six to four by the PCA method. The performance result is 91.02% while the number of initial features is decreased from six to two by NADM. The results clearly show that NADM outperforms PCA by 1.68% with fewer features.
