Linear Discriminant

Brain- and muscle-triggered exoskeletons have been proposed as a means for motor training after a stroke. With the possibility of performing different movement types with an exoskeleton, it is possible to introduce task variability in training. It is difficult to decode different movement types simultaneously from brain activity, but it may be possible from residual muscle activity that many patients have or quickly regain. This study investigates whether nine different motion classes of the hand and forearm could be decoded from forearm EMG in 15 stroke patients. This study also evaluates the test-retest reliability of a classical, but simple, classifier (linear discriminant analysis) and advanced, but more computationally intensive, classifiers (autoencoders and convolutional neural networks). Moreover, the association between the level of motor impairment and classification accuracy was tested. Three channels of surface EMG were recorded during the following motion classes: Hand Close, Hand Open, Wrist Extension, Wrist Flexion, Supination, Pronation, Lateral Grasp, Pinch Grasp, and Rest. Six repetitions of each motion class were performed on two different days. Hudgins time-domain features were extracted and classified using linear discriminant analysis and autoencoders, and raw EMG was classified with convolutional neural networks. On average, 79 ± 12% and 80 ± 12% (autoencoders) of the movements were correctly classified for days 1 and 2, respectively, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.88. No association was found between the level of motor impairment and classification accuracy (Spearman correlation: 0.24). It was shown that nine motion classes could be decoded from residual EMG, with autoencoders being the best classification approach, and that the results were reliable across days; this may have implications for the development of EMG-controlled exoskeletons for training in the patient’s home.

Modern approaches to the region’s landslide susceptibility assessment are considered in this paper. Have been presented descriptions of the most used techniques for landslide susceptibility assessment: logistic regression, indicator validity, linear discriminant analysis and application of artificial neural networks. These techniques’ advantages and disadvantages are discussed in the paper. The most suitable techniques for various conditions of analysis have been marked. It has been concluded that the most acceptable techniques of analysis for a large number of input data related to the studied region are the method of logistic regression and indicator validity method. With these methods the most accurate results are achieved. When there is a lack of information, it is more expedient to use linear discriminant analysis and artificial neural networks that will minimize potential analysis inaccuracies.
