Then, the problem is reduced to a minimization problem and a neural network is proposed for solving it.

A simplified ECG model is used for feature extraction in the time domain. The QRS complex is modeled using straight lines, while P and T waves are modeled using parabolas. The model parameters are estimated by minimizing the root mean square (RMS) of the model error. Heart beats are classified as one of the following: normal (N), supraventricular (S) and Ventricular (V) ectopic beats using a feed-forward neural network. A series of tests have been performed to evaluate the classification algorithm using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database ECG signals subset and expressed in the terms of sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp) and accuracy (Acc). The best results were achieved when the classification algorithm was applied on the third model set. The proposed algorithm has been implemented as a J2ME mobile application.

Algorithms were applied to the data created by superimposing artifact free real-life neonatal EEG and synthetic ECG. Their sensitivity to variation of noise property was compared: we examined variability of Spearman correlation coefficients (SCC) for various Heart Rates (HR) in each of ICA methods.
