Computers in Cardiology / Physionet Challenge 2009: Predicting acute hypotensive episodes

Abstract

The goal of the Computers in Cardiology / Physionet Challenge 2009 is to predict which patients will experi-ence acute hypotensive episode within a forecast window of one hour. In our study, statistically robust features ex-tracted from the supplied training set were defined. A Sup-port Vector Machine was used to classify these features. In this paper, we present our method, results and conclusion about this statistical approach. 1.
