Classification of severity of trachea stenosis from EEG signals using ordinal decision-tree based algorithms and ensemble-based ordinal and non-ordinal algorithms

作者:

Highlights:

• EEG signals are used for the identification of airway obstruction levels.

• A new ordinal random-forest approach yields better results than other classifiers.

• An ensemble approach based on ordinal and non-ordinal classifiers is proposed.

• The ensemble approach outperforms each individual classifier on most measures.

• The technique shows promise as a supplemental test for grading airway obstruction.
