Abstract

Cardiotocography records the fetal heart rate and Uterine contractions which is used to monitor the fetal distress during delivery. This signal supports the physicians to assess the fetal and maternal risk. During the last decade, various technique have proposed computer-aided assessment of fetal distress. The drawback of these techniques are complex in extraction of features and costlier in classification algorithm utilized. This paper proposes a feature selection technique Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline and Recursive Feature Elimination to evaluate 48 numbers of linear and non-linear features and to classify using Decision tree and k-Nearest Neighbor algorithms. Experimental results shows the performance of the proposed with state-of-the-art techniques.
