Optimal Selection of Time Series Coefficients for Wrist Myoelectric Control Based on Intramuscular Recordings
Abstract
The Davies-Bouldin cluster validation technique has been utilized to determine the optimal time series parameters (model, order and number of coefficients) to be used in a myoelectric pattern recognition system based on intramuscular recordings. The data used in our longitudinal study were recorded intramuscularly (4 muscle channels) from an amputee subject over three different experimental days. During the recording sessions, the subject performed 4 wrist movements (pronation, supination, wrist flexion, wrist extension) in a way that was intuitive to her. The time series coefficients obtained from the EMG data (from AR, MA, and ARMA modeling) were used for generating feature spaces with 4 classes (1 per movement). The results showed that the optimal parameters didn't differ substantially (AR, order 4, 2 coefficients) for those obtained for other type of movements and surface EMG recordings. The use of the Davies-Bouldin technique during the analysis produced important information about the separability and consistency of the data across different days.
