Abstract
Studying sleep stages is crucial for understanding sleep architecture, which can help identify various health conditions, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and neurodegenerative diseases, allowing for better diagnosis and treatment interventions. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of generalized weighted permutation entropy (GWPE) in distinguishing between different sleep stages from EEG signals. Using classification algorithms, we evaluate feature sets derived from both standard permutation entropy (PE) and GWPE to determine which set performs better in classifying sleep stages, demonstrating that GWPE significantly enhances sleep stage differentiation, particularly in identifying the transition between N1 and REM sleep. The results highlight the potential of GWPE as a valuable tool for understanding sleep neurophysiology and improving the diagnosis of sleep disorders.
期刊介绍:
Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300), an international and interdisciplinary journal of entropy and information studies, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish as much as possible their theoretical and experimental details. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. If there are computation and the experiment, the details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
