Characterisation of Arteriovenous Fistula’s sound recordings using principal component analysis

Summary, in English

In this study, a signal analysis framework based

on the Karhunen-Loève expansion and k-means clustering

algorithm is proposed for the characterisation of arteriovenous

(AV) fistula’s sound recordings. The Karhunen-Loève (KL) coefficients

corresponding to the directions of maximum variance

were used as classification features, which were clustered applying

k-means algorithm. The results showed that one natural

cluster was found for similar AV fistula’s state recordings. On

the other hand, when stenotic and non-stenotic AV fistula’s

recordings were processed together, the two most significant

KL coefficients contain important information that can be used

for classification or discrimination between these AV fistula’s

states.
