ECG Signal Classification Using Various Machine Learning Techniques.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a process that records the heart rate by using electrodes and detects small electrical changes for each heat rate. It is used to investigate some types of abnormal heart function including arrhythmias and conduction disturbance. In this paper the proposed method is used to classify the ECG signal by using classification technique. First the Input signal is preprocessed by using filtering method such as low pass, high pass and butter worth filter to remove the high frequency noise. Butter worth filter is to remove the excess noise in the signal. After preprocessing peak points are detected by using peak detection algorithm and extract the features for the signal are extracted using statistical parameters. Finally, extracted features are classified by using SVM, Adaboost, ANN and Naïve Bayes classifier to classify the ECG signal database into normal or abnormal ECG signal. Experimental result shows that the accuracy of the SVM, Adaboost, ANN and Naïve Bayes classifier is 87.5%, 93%, 94 and 99.7%. Compared to other classifier naïve bayes classifier accuracy is high.
