Abstract | In this contribution, a novel technique for discrimination of myopathy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and healthy electromyograms is proposed using multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Electromyograms are aperiodic and non-stationary electrical signals which represent the complex dynamics of skeletal muscle tissues and nerve cells activities within the human body. In this study, non-linear and dynamic fluctuations of noisy and chaotic electromyograms are analysed using fractal geometry. Electromyography (EMG) signals of myopathy, ALS and healthy disorders were collected from an online existing database and the non-linear dynamics were initially characterised using multifractal DFA. Following this, five novel feature parameters were extracted from the multifractal spectrum of respective EMG signals. Analysis of variance test was conducted on the selected features to examine their statistical significance. Finally, classification of myopathy, ALS and healthy electromyograms was done using support vector machine and k-nearest neighbour classifiers. In this study, four classification tasks are reported and it was observed that the performance of the proposed method is reasonably satisfactory in discriminating different categories of electromyograms. In addition, the proposed method is also found to deliver comparable and even better results in comparison with the existing methods, studied on the same data set. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
