OF THESIS DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF TIME EMBEDDED EEG SIGNALS Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the measurement of the electrical activity of the brain measured by placing electrodes on the scalp. These EEG signals give the micro-voltage difference between different parts of the brain in a non-invasive manner. The brain activity measured in this way is being currently analyzed ...

We present a generalized multivariate seismic event identification method, Regularized Discrimination Analysis (RDA) [Friedman 1989], that can be applied to a large number of regional discriminants. RDA is readily adaptable to an outlier or classical identification approach to regional seismic identification. RDA is designed to address the problems associated with linear (LDA) and quadratic (QD...

Citrus greening is a serious disease affecting citrus production in Florida and different parts of the world. This disease is spread by an insect vector and the trees are killed several years after infection. There is no known treatment for the disease. Disease detection and removal of infected trees is a critical part of citrus greening disease management efforts. This paper reports the evalua...

Optimizing risk assessment may reduce use of advanced diagnostic testing in patients with symptoms suggestive of stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Detection of diastolic murmurs from post-stenotic coronary turbulence with an acoustic sensor placed on the chest wall can serve as an easy, safe, and low-cost supplement to assist in the diagnosis of CAD. Coronary artery disease (CAD) accounts f...

Abstract Tulsi is widely known as a medicinal plant and possesses many health benefits. The pharmacological study regarding the compounds in tulsi has been studied, but sensory characteristic consumer acceptance of this never conducted previously. This aims to investigate characteristics functional beverages made from leaves determine which attributes that able promote consumers’ acceptance. Th...

Vegetarian diets are slowly becoming a lifestyle in Malaysia but is still lacking the production of vegetarian foods form ready-to-eat meals. The main objectives this study were to determine proximate composition and sensory acceptance selected Indian dishes (aloo gobi, dhal curry, potato aloo patta bhindi masala, vadai kebab) before after sterilization process. preparation was done using vacuu...

Quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) is a widely used statistical tool to classify observations from different multivariate Normal populations. The generalized quadratic (GQDA) classification rule/classifier, which generalizes the QDA and minimum Mahalanobis distance (MMD) classifiers discriminate between populations with underlying elliptically symmetric distributions competes quite favorably...

BACKGROUND Polysomnography (PSG) is used to define physiological sleep and different physiological sleep stages, to assess sleep quality and diagnose many types of sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. However, PSG requires not only the connection of various sensors and electrodes to the subject but also spending the night in a bed that is different from the subject's own bed. This s...

This study investigates the use of saliva, as an emerging diagnostic fluid in conjunction with classification techniques to discern biological heterogeneity in clinically labelled gingivitis and periodontitis subjects (80 subjects; 40/group) A battery of classification techniques were investigated as traditional single classifier systems as well as within a novel selective voting ensemble class...

In this article, I provide a typology of transition words/phrases. This typology comprises 12 dimensions of link words/phrases that capture 277 link words/phrases. Using QDA Miner, WordStat, and SPSS—a computer-assisted mixed methods data analysis software, content analysis software, and statistical software, respectively—I analyzed 74 manuscripts that were submitted to the journal Research in ...
