Effect of multiscale PCA de-noising on EMG signal classification for diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders.
Different approaches have been applied for quantitative analysis of EMG signals. This study introduces the effect of Multiscale Principal Component Analysis (MSPCA) denoising method in ElectroMyoGram (EMG) signal classification. The effect of the MSPCA denoising method discussed on EMG signal classification. In addition, effect of Multiple Single Classification (MUSIC) feature extraction method presented and compared for the classification of EMG signals. The results were accomplished on the basis of EMG signal data to classify into normal, ALS or myopathic. Furthermore, total accuracy of classifiers such as k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were discussed. Significant results were found by using MSPCA denoising method. The comparisons between the developed classifiers were based on a number of scalar performances such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, F-measure and area under ROC curve (AUC). The results show that MSPCA de-noising has considerably increased the accuracy as compared to EMG data without MSPCA de-noising.
