title: Classification of Heartbeats based on Linear Discriminant Analysis and Artificial Neural Network.
abstract: In this paper, we proposed a heartbeat classification algorithm based on linear discriminant analysis and artificial neural network. For the input of classifier, we extracted 275 input features from the first derivative signal of ECG signal and RR interval information and it was reduced to be 6 by LDA. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compared the result of the proposed algorithm with that of fuzzy inference system classifier. MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database were used as test and learning data. The performance of the proposed algorithm was 97.49% for sensitivity, 97.91% for specificity and 96.36% for accuracy. For the extraction of features, the first derivative signal of ECG is used only so that the real-time implementation of this algorithm was possible. And, on account of the reduction of feature dimensionality, the time cost for learning and testing can be expected.
