Assessment of nonnegative matrix factorization algorithms for electroencephalography spectral analysis.

AbstractBackgroundNonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been successfully used for electroencephalography (EEG) spectral analysis. Since NMF was proposed in the 1990s, many adaptive algorithms have been developed. However, the performance of their use in EEG data analysis has not been fully compared. Here, we provide a comparison of four NMF algorithms in terms of accuracy of estimation, stability (repeatability of the results) and time complexity of algorithms with simulated data. In the practical application of NMF algorithms, stability plays an important role, which was an emphasis in the comparison. A Hierarchical clustering algorithm was implemented to evaluate the stability of NM…

Cluster Aggregation for Analyzing Event-Related Potentials

Topographic analysis are references independent for Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), and thus render statistically unambiguous results. This drives us to develop an effective clustering approach to finding temporal samples possessing similar topographies for analysing the temporal-spatial ERPs data. The previous study called CARTOOL used single clustering method to cluster ERP data. Indeed, given a clustering method, the quality of clustering varies with data and the number of clusters, motivating us to implement and compare multiple clustering algorithms via using multiple similarity measurements. By finding the minimum distance among the various clustering methods and selecting the most s…
