\subtitle{\LARGE{Extraction and Analysis of RRi from PCG Signals for the
Classification of Heart Abnormalities}}

\maketitle
\section{Literature Review}
There are currently a wide variety of methods employed for the analysis and
classification of PCG signals. Current research focuses on a number of areas,
the most relevant of which are:
\begin{itemize}
\item Algorithms for the segmentation of PCG data, aiming to extract the
structure of the signal over time. This is a key stage in the analysis
of PCG signals as relationships between the fundamental heart sounds
(FHSs) form the basis for much of the further analysis performed on PCG
data. A number of methods exist for the extraction of FHSs. Some rely on direct extraction of
peaks in the time domain to determine the structure of a
signal. These methods perform various transformation in order to
accentuate the transient events.~\parencite{Groch1992, Liang1997}. However, these methods
tend to suffer significantly from background noise and so perform
poorly in sub-optimal conditions.\\
Other methods rely on spectral representations to
assist in the splitting of the FHSs, in particular using wavelet
decomposition ~\parencite{}. Machine learning
algorithms have also been widely employed, such as k Nearest
Neighbour~\parencite{} and Neural Networks~\parencite{} for
predictions. Particular success has been observed in Springer's use of
logistic regression and Hidden semi-Markov models~\citeyearpar{Springer2016}
\item Methods for the extraction of statistical features from PCG data in
order to create robust, meaningful representations of the data.
\item Classification of signals for diagnostic purposes. The aim being to
distinguish healthy signals from those with certain heart
conditions/abnormality. Machine learning techniques are commonly used
in order to distinguish between signals automatically, based on prior
feature extraction.
it is noted in that there is a lack of research into other machine
learning techniques such as bayesian classification and
SVMs~\citeyearpar{}.
\end{itemize}
A variety of machine learning techniques trained on these extracted
features. From this, a great deal of progress has been made in classifying a
variety of cardiac abnormalities such as.
