Abstract
The goal of this article is to optimize the feature extraction process by using ICA and wavelet transform, apply the obtained set to several different machine learning schemes, and compare their performances. The article is structured as follows. Section 2.0 describes our proposed method for cardiac arrhythmias detection. Section 3.0 covers an overview of different classifier types that were used in this work. Sections 4.0 and 5.0 summarize our simulation scheme and results. Finally, section 6.0 presents the concluding remarks.
