Classification of Signals

Classification of Signals

In signal processing, signals are classified based on various characteristics: continuous-time versus discrete-time, periodic versus aperiodic, analog versus digital, and causal versus noncausal. Each category highlights distinct properties crucial for understanding and manipulating signals.
A continuous-time signal holds a value at every instant in time, representing information seamlessly. In contrast, a discrete-time signal holds values only at specific moments, often denoted as x(n), where...

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

A goodness-of-fit test is conducted to determine whether the observed frequency values are statistically similar to the frequencies expected for the dataset. Suppose the expected frequencies for a dataset are equal such as when predicting the frequency of any number appearing when casting a die. In that case, the expected frequency is the ratio of the total number of observations (n) to the number of categories (k).

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Difference from Background: Limit of Detection

Difference from Background: Limit of Detection

The limit of detection (LOD) is the smallest amount of analyte that can be distinguished from the background noise. The LOD value corresponds to the concentration at which the analyte signal is three times larger than the standard deviation of the blank signal. Below this value, the analyte signal cannot be differentiated from the background noise. It is calculated by dividing the calibration slope by 3 times the standard deviation of the blank signals.
The LOD indicates the presence or absence...

Force Classification

Force Classification

Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

Classification of Systems-II

Classification of Systems-II

Continuous-time systems have continuous input and output signals, with time measured continuously. These systems are generally defined by differential or algebraic equations. For instance, in an RC circuit, the relationship between input and output voltage is expressed through a differential equation derived from Ohm's law and the capacitor relation,

Background:

Acoustic features of vocal tract function are crucial for detecting pathological voices.
Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) with Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) are effective but can be improved for voice pathology classification.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the efficacy of a Gaussian Mixture Model supervector kernel-support vector machine (GMM-SVM) classifier against traditional GMM classifiers for voice pathology detection.
To evaluate the potential of GMM-SVM for improving the accuracy of diagnosing voice diseases.

Main Methods:

Utilized sustained vowel phonations from the Kay database for experimental analysis.
Implemented and compared a GMM-SVM classifier with a standard GMM classifier.
Assessed classification performance using metrics such as accuracy and equal error rates.

Main Results:

The GMM-SVM classifier achieved a high accuracy of 96.1% in classifying normal versus pathological voices.
Equal error rates were significantly reduced from 8.0% for GMM to 4.6% for GMM-SVM.
Demonstrated superior performance of the GMM-SVM approach in voice pathology detection.

Conclusions:

The GMM-SVM classifier offers a significant advancement in the accuracy of pathological voice detection compared to traditional GMM methods.
This improved classification accuracy holds promise for more reliable diagnosis of voice diseases.
The GMM-SVM approach represents a valuable tool for objective voice assessment in clinical and research settings.
