Spatial feature extracted from ΔHbO.

Sr. No. Statistical Feature Mathematical Formulation/Description
1. Signal Mean Signal mean is calculated as:
μw=1Nwk=kLkUHbXw where,
μw: Mean of window
w: sample window
Nw: Number of sample in the window
kL: Lower limit of the window
kU: Upper limit of the window
HbXw: Stands for ΔHbO or ΔHbR
2. Signal Peak (Signal maximum) The feature select the maximum value in the window.
3. Signal Minimum The feature minimum value in the window.
4. Signal Skewness Signal skewness is calculated as:
skeww=Ex(ΔHbXwμw)3σ3
where, Ex is the expectation, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation of the haemoglobin ΔHbXw
5. Signal Kurtosis Signal Kurtosis is calculated as:
Kurtw=Ex(ΔHbXwμw)4σ4
where, Ex is the expectation, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation of the haemoglobin ΔHbXw
6. Signal Variance Signal variance is the measure of signal spread.
7. Signal Median Median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of values in the time window.
8. Peak-to-peak Peak-to-peak is computed as the difference between the maximum to the minimum value in the time window.
