Classification of patient by analyzing EEG signal using DWT and least square support vector machine

A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history: Received: 25 May, 2017 Accepted: 15 July, 2017 Online: 01 August, 2017 Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which is most widespread in human beings after stroke. Approximately 70% of epilepsy cases can be cured if diagnosed and medicated properly. Electro-encephalogram (EEG) signals are recording of brain electrical activity that provides insight information and understanding of the mechanisms inside the brain. Since epileptic seizures occur erratically, it is essential to develop a model for automatically detecting seizure from EEG recordings. In this paper a scheme was presented to detect the epileptic seizure implementing discrete wavelet transform (DWT) on EEG signal. DWT decomposes the signal into approximation and detail coefficients, the ApEn values the coefficients were computed using pattern length (m= 2 and 3) as an input feature for the Least square support vector machine (LS-SVM). The classification is done using LS-SVM and the results were compared using RBF and linear kernels. The proposed model has used the EEG data consisting of 5 classes and compared with using the approximate and detailed coefficients combined and individually. The classification accuracy of the LS-SVM using the RBF and Linear kernel with ApEn using different cases is compared and it is found that the best accuracy percentage is 100% with RBF kernel.
