the aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from electrocardiogram (ecg) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (hr) signals. a comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ecg signals and hr signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...

A risk stratification system to discriminate congestive heart failure (CHF) subjects from healthy subjects is proposed. All the previous research to detect CHF patients using Lempel-Ziv complexity measure had used binary coarsegraining (BLZC). In this work, we show that employing multi-valued coarsegraining Lempel-Ziv complexity (MLZC) improves the performance of classification. This finding is...

One of the key issues in practical speech processing is to locate precisely endpoints of the input utterance to be free of nonspeech regions. Although lots of studies have been performed to solve this problem, the operation of existing voice activity detection (VAD) algorithms is still far away from ideal. This paper proposes a novel robust feature for VAD method that is based on multi-valued c...

This paper describes the Lempel-Ziv dimension (Hausdorff like dimension inspired in the LZ78 parsing), its fundamental properties and relation with Hausdorff dimension. It is shown that in the case of individual infinite sequences, the Lempel-Ziv dimension matches with the asymptotical Lempel-Ziv compression ratio. This fact is used to describe results on Lempel-Ziv compression in terms of dime...

We present algorithms computing the non-overlapping Lempel–Ziv-77 factorization and longest previous factor table within small space in linear or near-linear time with help of modern suffix tree representations fitting into limited space. With similar techniques, we show how to answer substring compression queries for Lempel–Ziv-78 a possible logarithmic multiplicative slowdown depending on use...
