Preprocessing effects of 22 linear univariate features on the performance of seizure prediction methods

These studies have been conducted on the features obtained from 10 patients. For each patient, 48 different combinations of methods are compared to find the best configuration. Normalization by dividing by the maximum and smoothing are found to be the best configuration in most of the patients. The results also indicate that applying machine learning methods on a multidimensional feature space of 22 univariate features predicted seizure onsets with high performance. On average, the seizures were predicted in 73.9% of the cases (34 out of 46 in 737.9 h of test data), with a FPR of 0.15 h−1.
