Application of the Discriminant Analysis for Diagnostics of the Arterial Hypertension - Analysis of Short-Term Heart Rate Variability Signals

Abstract

The investigation of the diagnostic possibilities for the arterial hypertension is presented. The 41 features of the statistical, geometric, spectral and nonlinear methods during functional loads were considered for two groups: healthy volunteers and patients suffering from the arterial hypertension of the II-III degree. Application of the linear and quadratic discriminant analysis showed particular features that have high classification efficiency.
