Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of arrhythmia classification using machine learning techniques applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The study delves into the development and evaluation of diverse models, including K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree Classifier, Linear and Kernelized Support Vector Machines, and Random Forest. The models undergo rigorous analysis, emphasizing precision and recall due to the categorical nature of the dependent variable. To enhance model robustness and address class imbalances, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Random Oversampling are employed. The results highlight the effectiveness of the Kernelized SVM with PCA, achieving a remarkable accuracy of 99.52%. Additionally, the paper discusses the positive impact of feature reduction and oversampling on model performance. The study concludes with insights into the significance of PCA and Random Oversampling in refining arrhythmia classification models, offering potential avenues for future research in healthcare analytics.
