- Abstract
In biomedical signal analysis, Artificial Neural Networks are frequently used for classification, owing to their capability to resolve nonlinearly separable problems and the flexibility to implement them on-chip processor, competently. Artificial Neural Network for a classification task attempts to hand design a network topology and to find a set of network parameters using a back propagation training algorithm. This work presents an intelligent diagnosis system using artificial neural network. Features were extracted from respiratory effort signal based on the threshold-based scheme and the respiratory states were classified into normal, sleep apnea and motion artifacts. The introduced neural classifier was then trained with different back propagation training algorithms and the classified output was compared with the hand designed results. Five different back propagation training algorithms were used for training, such as Levenberg-Marquardt, scaled conjugate gradient, BFGS algorithm, one step secant and Powell-Beale restarts. Our results revealed that the system could correctly classify at an average of 98.7%, when the LM training method was used. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and confusion matrix showed that the LM method conferred a more balanced and an apt classification of sleep apnea and normal states.
