1. 1. Automatic classification of cardiovascular age of healthy people by dynamical patterns of the heart rhythm

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

   Author : priya kurian pullolickal; [2022]
   Keywords : Electrocardiogram ECG measures the electrical impulses of the heart. The time inter- val between two successive R peaks measured in millisecond using an ECG is called as an RR-interval. The distribution of the RR-intervals as well as classification of cardiovascu- lar age of healthy people from RR-interval was done in this thesis. For that; the data was preprocessed and time series plots were analyzed from sample dataset. The RR-intervals were then aligned to have the same start time using functions written and then an aver- age RR-interval series for each decade was created. The coefficient of variation was very less for this averaged dataset which concluded that averaging the RR-interval was a good approach. The averaged dataset per age decade as well agreed to the conclusion of the sample data set that the heart rate variability decreases with increasing age. Three clusters of age decade were also visible in the averaged dataset. The kurtosis; skew; mean; me- dian; histograms and Q-Q Plot were calculated for the sample as well as averaged dataset to find the distribution. The values all concluded that the RR-intervals follow Gaussian distribution or mixture of Gaussian distribution. The Poincaré plots showed that the dis- tribution of RR-interval is comet shaped for healthy individuals. The features were ex- tracted from the distribution as well as from the distribution of Discrete Fourier Transform DFT for classifying the age group from RR-intervals. Svitzky-Golay filtering was done to smooth the signal before taking the features from DFT. Random Forest and Support Vector Machine was the machine learning algorithms used to classify the age decade. Later the results were compared using a dataset from physionet that had RR-intervals of individuals suffering from myocardial infraction. The age classification using Random Forest and Sup- port Vector Machine concluded that the Gdańsk dataset using Random Forest Algorithm and three classes gave the highest test accuracy of 59% for the dataset.;

3. 2. Stability Analysis of Hydrodynamic Performance Indicator Based on Historic Data Sets

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

   Author : Canan Özel Kennedy; [2022]
   Keywords : Stability analysis; Anderson-Darling test; Shapiro-Wilk test; curve fitting; Q-Q plot; British Standard BS ISO 19030;

   Abstract : This paper presents a stability analysis of the sensor data which is collected by QTAGG from alarge ocean going ship and using the stability results, introduces some information about howthe measurements that come from the sensors can be improved and how reliable they are. In thetheoretical part, some background information is given mainly based on British Standard(BS)ISO 19030 which was published in November, 2016. READ MORE

4. 3. An Empirical Study of Students’ Performance at Assessing Normality of Data Through Graphical Methods

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Noah Leander Aggeborn; Kristian Norgren; [2019]
   Keywords : Web survey; Graphical methods; histogram; Q-Q plot; distribution; sample size; formal tests of normality; Shapiro-Wilks; Jarque-Bera; Lilliefors;

   Abstract : When applying statistical methods for analyzing data, with normality as an assumption there are different procedures of determining if a sample is drawn from a normally distributed population. Because normality is such a central assumption, the reliability of the procedures is of most importance. READ MORE
