Table 7.

Ten statistical features.

Feature Definition Equation
92. Mean Sum of all data divided by the number of entries x¯= xn
93. Median Value that is in the middle of the ordered set of data Odd numbers of entries: Median = middle data entry.
Even numbers of entries: Median = adding the two numbers in the middle and dividing the result by two.
94. Standard Deviation Measure variability and consistency of the sample. s =  xx¯n1
95. Percentile The data value at which the percent of the value in the data set are less than or equal to this value. 25th = (25100)n
75th = (75100)n
96. Mean Absolute Deviation Average distance between the mean and each data value. MAD = i=1n| xix ¯|n
97. Inter Quartile Range (IQR) The measure of the middle 50% of data. IQR = Q3–Q1
Q3: Third quartile, Q1: First quartile, Quartile: Dividing the data set into four equal portions.
98. Skewness The measure of the lack of symmetry from the mean of the dataset. g1 = i=1N(YiY)3/NS3
Y: Mean, s: Standard deviation, N: Number of data.
99. Kurtosis The pointedness of a peak in distribution curve, in other words it is the measure of sharpness of the peak of distribution curve. K = i=1N(YiY)4/NS43
Y: Mean, s: Standard deviation, N: Number of data.
100. Shannon’s Entropy Entropy measures the degree of randomness in a set of data, higher entropy indicates a greater randomness, and lower entropy indicates a lower randomness. H(x) = −i=0N1pilog2pi
101. Spectral Entropy The normalized Shannon’s entropy that is applied to the power spectrum density of the signal. SEN = i=0N1pklog2pklogN
pk: Spectral power of the normalized frequency, N: Number of frequencies in binary
