Table 2. Feature descriptions.

Feature group Feature Description
Amplitude Mav mav = mav(signal)
Mavfd mavfd = mavfd(signal)
Mavsd mavsd = mavsd(signal)
Peak peak = max(signal); index(max(signal))
Rms rms = rms(signal)
Frequency Zc Calculated by comparing each point of the signal with the next; if there is a crossing by zero then it is accounted.
Fmed To obtain the median frequency, find the value of the frequency that bisects the area below the X waveform.
Fmode This fast Fourier transformation equation is valid for this and the following frequency features:. X(k)=j=1Nx(j)ωN(j1)(k1), where ωN=e(2πiN). To find the mode, find the maximum value of X.
Fmean k=1NFFTX(k).f(k)X(k)
Cf The central frequency is simply the mean of the frequencies that delimit the bandwidth: cf=fhfl2.
Predictability Fuzzy entropy Saen(m,s,d)=ln[Com(s)Com+1(s)], where m is the window size, s is the similarity standard and d is the signal. It is calculated in a very similar way to the Sample Entropy. The only similarity between the groups is computed by means of a Fuzzy membership function.
Approximate entropy For a temporal series with N samples {u(i): 1 ≤ iN} given m, create vectors Xjm for each XNm+1m as Xjm={u(i),u(i+1),u(i+m1)},i=1,,Nm+1, where m is the number of points to group together for the comparison. For each kNm + 1 groups, do Ckm(r) which is the number of times the groups had distance less than tolerance r. Then compute the value φm as φm(r)=i=1Nm+1lnCjm(r)Nm+1. The Approximated Entropy is: ApEn(m,r) = limN→∞[φm(r) − φm+1(r)].
