Independent Component Analysis of Parameterized ECG Signals
Jarno M. A. Tanskanen, Jari Viik, Jari Hyttinen · 2006
Independent component analysis (ICA) of measured signals yields the independent sources, given certain fulfilled requirements. Properly parameterized signals provide a better view to the considered system aspects, while reducing the amount of data. It is little acknowledged that appropriately parameterized signals may be subjected to ICA, yielding independent components (ICs) displaying more clearly the investigated properties of the sources. In this paper, we propose ICA of parameterized signals, and demonstrate the concept with ICA of ST and R parameterizations of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from ECG exercise test measurements from two coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
