Past Usage: 1. H. Altay Guvenir, Burak Acar, Gulsen Demiroz, Ayhan Cekin "A Supervised Machine Learning Algorithm for Arrhythmia Analysis" Proceedings of the Computers in Cardiology Conference, Lund, Sweden, 1997. The aim is to determine the type of arrhythmia from the ECG recordings. 4. Relevant Information: This database contains 279 attributes, 206 of which are linear valued and the rest are nominal. Concerning the study of H. Altay Guvenir: "The aim is to distinguish between the presence and absence of cardiac arrhythmia and to classify it in one of the 16 groups. Class 01 refers to 'normal' ECG classes 02 to 15 refers to different classes of arrhythmia and class 16 refers to the rest of unclassified ones. For the time being, there exists a computer program that makes such a classification. However there are differences between the cardiolog's and the programs classification. Taking the cardiolog's as a gold standard we aim to minimise this difference by means of machine learning tools." The names and id numbers of the patients were recently removed from the database. 5.
