Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of discrimination between two sets of complex signals generated by stationary processes with both random effects and mixed spectral distributions. The presence of outlier signals and their influence on the classification process is also considered. As an initial input, a feature vector obtained from estimations of the spectral distribution is proposed and used with two different learning machines, namely a single artificial neural network and the LogitBoost classifier. Performance of both methods is evaluated on five simulation studies as well as on a set of actual data of electroencephalogram (EEG) records obtained from both normal subjects and others having experienced epileptic seizures. Of the different classification methods, Logitboost is shown to be more robust to the presence of outlier signals.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biostatistics (IJB) seeks to publish new biostatistical models and methods, new statistical theory, as well as original applications of statistical methods, for important practical problems arising from the biological, medical, public health, and agricultural sciences with an emphasis on semiparametric methods. Given many alternatives to publish exist within biostatistics, IJB offers a place to publish for research in biostatistics focusing on modern methods, often based on machine-learning and other data-adaptive methodologies, as well as providing a unique reading experience that compels the author to be explicit about the statistical inference problem addressed by the paper. IJB is intended that the journal cover the entire range of biostatistics, from theoretical advances to relevant and sensible translations of a practical problem into a statistical framework. Electronic publication also allows for data and software code to be appended, and opens the door for reproducible research allowing readers to easily replicate analyses described in a paper. Both original research and review articles will be warmly received, as will articles applying sound statistical methods to practical problems.
