Sumario:In the clinical diagnosis of epileptic diseases, the intelligent diagnosis of epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has become a research focus in the field of brain diseases. In order to solve the problem of time-consuming and easily influenced by human subjective factors, artificial intelligence pattern recognition algorithm has been applied to EEG signals recognition. However, at present, the common empirical mode decomposition (EMD) signal decomposition algorithm does not consider the problem of mode aliasing. The EEG features obtained by feature extraction may be mixed with some unimportant features that affect the classification accuracy. In this paper, we proposed a new method based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) combined with iterative feature reduction for aided diagnosis of epileptic EEG. First of all, the evaluation indexes of decomposing and reconstructing signals by several methods were compared. The CEEMD was selected as the decomposition method of the signals. Then, the support vector machine recursive elimination (SVM-RFE) was used to reduce 9 features extracted from EEG data. The support vector classification of the gray wolf optimizer (GWO-SVC) recognition model was established for different feature subsets. By comparing the classification accuracy of training set and test set of different feature subsets, and considering the complexity of the model reflected by the number of features selected by SVM-RFE, the analysis showed that the 6 feature subsets with fewer features and higher classification accuracy could reflect the key information of epileptic EEG. The accuracy of the training set classification was 99.38% and the test set was as high as 100%. The recognition time was only 1.6551 s. Finally, in order to verify the reliability of the algorithm proposed in this paper, the proposed algorithm compared with the classification model established by the raw EEG signals and the optimization model established by other intelligent optimization algorithms. It is found that the algorithm used in this paper has higher classification accuracy and faster recognition time than other processing methods. The experimental results show that CEEMD combined with SVM-RFE is feasible for rapid and accurate recognition of EEG signals, which provides a theoretical basis for the aided diagnosis of epilepsy.
