Table 3.

Leave-one-out heat stress classification performance on PPG-chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) responders in the tropical condition database. Four classification methods are used in this analysis: linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis and the linear support vector machine. The PPG signals were collected from 40 heat acclimatized emergency responders for 20 s during the 10-minute break of each exercise (cf. Figure 1). To evaluate the performance of each feature, we applied the F1 score, which is defined as 2×(SE×PP)/(SE+PP). Here, OA stands for overall accuracy (average of F1 scores for all classifiers). The highest OA of each feature is highlighted.
