Abstract
One of the main problems that face Motor Imagery-based system is addressing multi-class problem. Various approaches have been used to tackle this problem. Most of these approaches tend to divide multi-class problem into binary sub problems. This study aims to address the multi-class problem by comparing five multi-class approaches; One-vs-One (OVO), One-vs-Rest (OVR), Divide & Conquer (DC), Binary Hierarchy (BH), and Multi-class approaches. Renyi entropy was examined for feature extraction. Three linear classifiers were used to implement these five-approaches: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). These approaches were compared according to their performance and time consumption. The comparative results show that, Renyi entropy demonstrated its robustness not only as a feature extraction technique but also as a powerful dimension reduction technique, for multi-class problem. In addition, LDA proved to be the best classifier for almost all approaches with minimum execution time.
