Prediction of arrhythmia using multivariate time series data

초록

Studies on predicting arrhythmia using machine learning have been actively conducted with increasing number of arrhythmia patients. Existing studies have predicted arrhythmia based on multivariate data of feature variables extracted from RR interval data at a specific time point. In this study, we consider that the pattern of the heart state changes with time can be important information for the arrhythmia prediction. Therefore, we investigate the usefulness of predicting the arrhythmia with multivariate time series data obtained by extracting and accumulating the multivariate vectors of the feature variables at various time points. When considering 1-nearest neighbor classification method and its ensemble for comparison, it is confirmed that the multivariate time series data based method can have better classification performance than the multivariate data based method if we select an appropriate time series distance function.
