摘要: The main objective of this study was to enhance the performance sleep stage classification using single-channel electroencephalograms (EEGs), which are highly desirable for many emerging technologies, such as telemedicine and home care. proposed method consists decomposing EEGs by a discrete wavelet transform computing kurtosis, skewness variance its coefficients at selected levels. A random forest predictor is trained classify each epoch into one Rechtschaffen Kales’ stages. By performing comprehensive set tests on 106,376 epochs available from Physionet public database, it demonstrated that use these three statistical moments has enhanced when compared their application in time domain. Furthermore, chosen features advantage exhibiting stable all scoring systems, i.e., 2- 6-state stability feature confirmed with ReliefF show reduction any individual removed, suggesting group cannot be further reduced. accuracies kappa yield higher than 90 % 0.8, respectively, cases.
