    Study Notes

    BCI Methods Overview

    LDA: Linear Discriminant Analysis

    • A supervised learning method aimed at classification problems.
    • Uses previous data to predict labels for unseen data, establishing a decision boundary defined by ( f(x) = 0 ).
    • Key equation is ( F(x) = w^T x + b ) where ( w ) is a weight vector and ( b ) is a bias.
    • Assumes Gaussian distribution of classes and equal covariance matrices.
    • Optimization focuses on maximizing the Fisher criterion:
      • ( J(w) = \argmax_{w}\frac{w^T S_B w}{w^T S_w w} )
    • Pros include analytically computable optimization and fast training.
    • Cons include challenges in calculating covariance matrices and linear separability limitations.

    PCA: Principal Component Analysis

    • An unsupervised method for dimensionality reduction.
    • Transformations involve shifting, rotating, and scaling data based on variance.
    • Assumes linear correlation in data and that variance indicates relevance.
    • Steps include translating data to origin, rotating axes to align with variance, and projecting onto eigenvectors for reduced dimensions.
    • Optimization seeks to find eigenvectors ( u_1 ) that maximize variance.
    • Pros include cost-effectiveness, noise reduction, and improved visualization of high-dimensional data.
    • Limitations consist of linearity and the assumption that variance directly equates to relevance.

    ICA: Independent Component Analysis

    • Designed to separate mixed signals from multiple data sources into individual components.
    • Assumes statistical independence among signals and is sensitive to the number of sources versus sensors.
    • Outputs may vary across different runs, allowing for component comparison.

    Logistic Regression

    • A supervised learning technique for binary classification, predicting the probability of outcome ( y=1 ).
    • The model uses a sigmoid function ( h_{w}(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-w^T x}} ) to convert linear regression outputs into probabilities.
    • Weights ( w ) are obtained through loss functions and gradient descent.
    • Quadratic loss is ineffective due to the interaction with the sigmoid function causing non-convexities.

    Standard Forward Model in CSP

    • Models linear relationships in data using spatial filtering to enhance feature extraction.
    • Objective is to optimize spatial unmixing filters ( W ), learning extreme eigenvalues from the covariance matrix ( S_i ).
    • Fast training and reduced dimensionality are benefits, while sensitivity to outliers and risk of overfitting are drawbacks.

    Regularized CSP

    • Regularization is introduced to avoid overfitting by adjusting ( W ) with a penalty function ( P(W) ).
    • The method incorporates covariance matrices and user-defined parameters for regularization strength.

    Filter Bank CSP

    • Comprises frequency filtering, spatial filtering, feature selection, and final classification.
    • Selection of EEG features is done across frequency bands to minimize dimensionality while maximizing the discriminative power.

    Sensitivity Analysis

    • Evaluates how changes in input variables impact the estimated label, with residuals included in models to gauge performance.
    • Weight optimization involves minimizing squared error through derived expressions, yielding best predictions with equations involving covariance matrices.

    Regularization Techniques in Linear Regression

    • Ridge regression applies L2 norm penalties, effective but sensitive to outliers.
    • Lasso uses L1 norm penalties, leading to a sparser solution without an analytical approach.

    Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)

    • Definition: A method for classifying data points by identifying a linear combination of features that best distinguishes different classes.
    • Purpose: Utilized for both dimensionality reduction and supervised classification tasks.
    • Assumptions:
      • Features are normally distributed.
      • Classes share a common covariance matrix, indicating homoscedasticity.
      • Classes can be separated linearly.

    Key Concepts

    • Classes: LDA develops a linear decision boundary to separate multiple classes.
    • Mean Vectors: Calculates the average feature values for each class to aid classification.
    • Within-Class Scatter Matrix: Quantifies variability among data points within each class.
    • Between-Class Scatter Matrix: Assesses the variability between the mean values of different classes.
    • Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors: Essential for determining linear combinations that enhance class separation.

    Mathematical Formulation

    • Aims to maximize the ratio of the determinants of the between-class scatter matrix and the within-class scatter matrix.
    • This optimization leads to solving a generalized eigenvalue problem.

    Steps in LDA

    • Compute mean vectors for each class.

      μk=1Nk∑i=1Nkxi \mu_k = \frac{1}{N_k} \sum_{i=1}^{N_k} x_i μk​=Nk​1​i=1∑Nk​​xi​

      where Nk N_k Nk​ is the number of samples in class k k k and xi x_i xi​ are the feature vectors.

    • Calculate the within-class and between-class scatter matrices.

      SW=∑k=1K∑i=1Nk(xi−μk)(xi−μk)T S_W = \sum_{k=1}^{K} \sum_{i=1}^{N_k} (x_i - \mu_k)(x_i - \mu_k)^T SW​=k=1∑K​i=1∑Nk​​(xi​−μk​)(xi​−μk​)T

      where K is the number of classes

    • Solve the eigenvalue problem for the computed scatter matrices.

      SB=∑k=1KNk(μk−μ)(μk−μ)T S_B = \sum_{k=1}^{K} N_k (\mu_k - \mu)(\mu_k - \mu)^T SB​=k=1∑K​Nk​(μk​−μ)(μk​−μ)T

      where \mu is the overall mean vector of the dataset

    • Select the most significant eigenvectors to create a new feature space.

      SW−1SBv=λv S_W^{-1} S_B v = \lambda v SW−1​SB​v=λv

    • Project data onto this new feature space for classification.

      yi=WTxi y_i = W^T x_i yi​=WTxi​

    Applications

    • Used in diverse fields including:
      • Face Recognition: Identifying individuals based on facial features.
      • Medical Diagnosis: Classifying health conditions based on diagnostic data.
      • Marketing: Segmenting customers for targeted campaigns.
      • Scenarios requiring classification for binary or multiple classes.

    Comparison to PCA

    • LDA aims for maximum class separability, while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) focuses on maximizing variance irrespective of class labels.

    Limitations

    • Vulnerable to outliers, which can skew results.
    • Assumes normality and equal covariance, which may not always be valid.
    • Less effective in very high-dimensional spaces with limited samples, leading to the curse of dimensionality.

    Performance Metrics

    • Evaluation of LDA's effectiveness uses metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and the F1 score in classification tasks.
