In this piece of work, the authors have attempted to classify four types of long duration arrhythmia electrocardiograms (ECG) using radial basis function network (RBFN). The data is taken from Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) arrhythmia database, and features are extracted using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique. For most informative contents average power (AP) and coefficient of dispersion (CD) are evaluated from six intrinsic mode function (IMFs) of EMD. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used for feature reduction for effective classification using RBFN. The performance is shown in the result section, and it is found that the classification accuracy is 95.98%.
