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.

\[ \mu_k = \frac{1}{N_k} \sum_{i=1}^{N_k} x_i \]

where \( N_k \) is the number of samples in class \( k \) and \( x_i \) are the feature vectors.
Calculate the within-class and between-class scatter matrices.

\[ S_W = \sum_{k=1}^{K} \sum_{i=1}^{N_k} (x_i - \mu_k)(x_i - \mu_k)^T \]

where K is the number of classes
Solve the eigenvalue problem for the computed scatter matrices.

\[ S_B = \sum_{k=1}^{K} N_k (\mu_k - \mu)(\mu_k - \mu)^T \]

where \mu is the overall mean vector of the dataset
Select the most significant eigenvectors to create a new feature space.

\[ S_W^{-1} S_B v = \lambda v \]
Project data onto this new feature space for classification.

\[ y_i = W^T x_i \]

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.
