“…While statistical methods including t-test, ANOVA and covariance analysis were used to analyze and test the coupling or grouping across subjects based on statistic measurements for various applications of kinematic and/or physiological data (Park et al, 2017), advanced techniques of functional data analysis and machine learning demonstrated more promising results in regard to high-dimensional multi-variate gait data (Park et al, 2017). In various health related studies, supervised learning methods, such as SVM, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), linear discriminative analysis (LDA), neural network (NN), were employed for predicting or classifying in between of target and control cohorts, and usually combined with dimensionality reduction approaches, such as principle component analysis (PCA) to discover information from a high-dimensional space (Deluzio & Astephen, 2007;Coffey et al, 2011;Fukuchi et al, 2011;Eskofier et al, 2012;Andrade et al, 2013;Phinyomark et al, 2014;Janidarmian et al, 2015;Derlatka & Bogdan, 2015;Tucker et al, 2015;Watari et al, 2016;Phinyomark et al, 2016;Rida et al, 2016). In addition, some researches were focused on modeling motion dynamics of multivariate kinematic data using hidden Markov model (Mannini & Sabatini, 2012) and Bayesian network (Moon & Pavlović, 2008) for gait pattern recognition.…”
