Higher order spectral regression discriminant analysis (HOSRDA): A tensor feature reduction method for ERP detection

作者:

Highlights:

• Higher Order Spectral Regression Analysis (HOSRDA) is a higher order feature reduction method, a multiway extension of Spectral Regression Discriminant Analysis (SRDA). It is used in a classification framework, accompanied by an LDA classifier.

• Despite all present tensor-based feature reduction techniques that solve an eigenvalue problem, HOSRDA solves a regression problem. Accordingly, different types of regularizations can be added to the problem.

• When the number of samples is large, low cost iterative algorithms can be employed to solve the regression problem, while the eigenvalue problem will have a high computational cost.

• The performance of HOSRDA is evaluated on classification of data of a P300 speller from BCI competition III and it reached average character detection accuracy of 96.5% for the two subjects. HOSRDA outperforms almost all of other reported methods on this dataset.

• The bold advantage of HOSRDA over other conventional methods used for classification in P300 Speller is its training time, which is significantly small (for example in comparison to eSVM).
