Abstract Due to the growing problem of heart diseases, the computer improvement of their diagnostics becomes of great importance. One of the most common heart diseases is cardiac arrhythmia. It is usually diagnosed by measuring the heart activity using electrocardiograph (ECG) and collecting the data as multidimensional medical datasets. However, their storage, analysis and knowledge extraction become highly complex issues. Feature reduction not only enables saving storage and computing resources, but it primarily makes the process of data interpretation more comprehensive. In the paper the new igPCA (in-group Principal Component Analysis) method for feature reduction is proposed. We assume that the set of attributes can be split into subgroups of similar characteristic and then subjected to principal component analysis. The presented method transforms the feature space into a lower dimension and gives the insight into intrinsic structure of data. The method has been verified by experiments done on a dataset of ECG recordings. The obtained effects have been evaluated regarding the number of kept features and classification accuracy of arrhythmia types. Experiment results showed the advantage of the presented method compared to base PCA approach.

Non-performance loan ratio is one of the important assessment criteria of the security of credit assets. It is also an important financial indicator to evaluate the general strength of commercial banks. Using principal component analysis method and statistical software SPSS16.0 and based on the non-performance loan ratio and relative data of some commercial banks in China in 2007, this paper provided a principal component analysis model for the non-performance loan ratio of China’s commercial banks. The factors that affect the non-performance loan ratio were refined in this paper. Finally, the characteristics of effect factors of each bank were analyzed and compared in detail.

This chapter discusses design and development of a surface Electromyogram (EMG) signal detection and conditioning system along with the issues of gratuitous spurious signals such as power line interference, artifacts, etc., which make signals plausible. In order to construe the recognition of hand gestures from EMG signals, Time Domain (TD) and well as Autoregressive (AR) coefficients features are extracted. The extracted features are diminished using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to alleviate the burden of the classifier. A four-channel continuous EMG signal conditioning system is developed and EMG signals are acquired from 10 able-bodied subjects to classify the 6 unique movements of hand and wrist. The reduced statistical TD and AR features are used to classify the signal patterns through k Nearest Neighbour (kNN) as well as Neural Network (NN) classifier. Further, EMG signals acquired from a transradial amputee using 8-channel systems for the 6 amenable motions are also classified. Statistical Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) results on classification performance of able-bodied subject divulge that the performance TD-PCA features are more significant than the AR-PCA features. Further, no significant difference in the performance of NN classifier and kNN classifier is construed with TD reduced features. Since the average classification error of kNN classifier with TD features is found to be less, kNN classifier is implemented in off-line using the TMS2407eZdsp digital signal controller to study the actuation of three low-power DC drives in the identification of intended motion with an able-bodied subject.

In order to elucidate chemical structure-odor correlation in the all isomers of n-nonen-1- ols, an entire series of these alcohols were synthesized stereo-selectively in high purity. For unequivocal syntheses of them, geometrically selective hydrogenation of the respective acetylenic compound was adopted. The synthesized alcohols were converted to their 3,5-dinitrobenzoate derivatives with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride, and then purified by repeated recrystallization. Chemical structure-odor correlations in all the isomers of n-nonen-1-ols were elucidated by introducing a novel method to evaluate odor characteristics and by treating the obtained data statistically with the principal component analysis method (Cramer et al., 1988). The odor profiles of the tested compounds were attributable largely to the positions of the carbon- double bond. The geometries of compounds had only a little effect. With the principal component analysis, the odor profiles of the series of compounds were successfully integrated into the first and the second principal components. The first component (PC-1) consisted of combined characteristics of fruity, fresh, sweet, herbal and oily-fatty, in which herbal and oily-fatty were conversely correlated each other to the position of double-bond of the tested compounds. Of these, only (6Z)-nonen-1-ol deviated markedly from the correlation, indicative of some special interaction between the spatial structure of this compound and the sensory machinery of human.
