“…In the existing literature, signal decomposition is utilized through two approaches for feature extraction; each approach serves a distinct objective: 1) Extraction of highly discriminative features: In these methods, features are extracted from elementary modes resulting from the decomposition process. Accordingly, feature extraction methods can be generally grouped under four main categories: entropy-based [262], [263], [267], [273], [274], [283], energy-based [251], [257], [264], [265], spectral-based [44], [252], [266], [272], [275], [280], [282], [283], and statistical-based [247],…”
