We selected twenty-five features with which a feature-matrix was computed as input for the four methods

Number Feature Description Domain
1 Curve Length Length of an irregular curve (i.e., similar to arc length) Time
2 Energy Average instantaneous energy Time
3 Nonlinear Energy Average change in amplitude and frequency Time
4 Root Mean Square
Time
Amplitude of time-varying wave (usually sinusoidal), quadratic mean
5 Mean Rectified Value Mean magnitude (i.e., average of an absolute value) Time
6 Sinusoidal Frequency Estimate of frequency for sinusoidal (or periodic) signal Time
7 Sinusoidal Phase Estimate of phase for sinusoidal (or periodic) signal Time
8 Periodicity Estimate of regularity for sinusoidal (or periodic) signal Time
9 Crossings Mean number of intersections across an amplitude reference Time
10 Peak PSD Maximum value of power spectral density (PSD) Frequency
11 Mean PSD
Frequency
Mean value of power spectral density (PSD)
12 Peak Sign-PSD
Frequency
Maximum value of power spectral density (PSD) for signed signal
13 Mean
Statistics
Measure of central tendency, arithmetic mean (or average)
14 Median Measure of central tendency, middle value Statistics
15 Interquartile Range
Statistics
Difference between the third and first quartiles, mid-spread
16 Mad
Statistics
Mean (or median) absolute deviation from mean (or median) value
17 Range Difference between the maximum and the minimum values Statistics
18 Standard Deviation
Statistics
Measure of the variability relative to a mean value
19 Variance
Statistics
Mean square deviation from a mean value
20 Skewness Asymmetry about a mean value Statistics
21 Kurtosis Affinity to statistical outliers Statistics
22 Spectral Entropy
Information
Measure of predictability (or regularity) in a sequence
23 Shannon Entropy
Information
Average missing information when values are unknown
24 Renyi Entropy
Information
Measure of the diversity (or randomness) in a sequence
25 Complexity Level of intricacy in a sequence Information
