Characteristics of hand tremor time series
Abstract
Tremor is classified into physiological, essential, and parkinsonian tremor by means of clinical criteria. The aim of our work was to extract quantitative features from the measurements of the acceleration of human postural hand tremor. Different mathematical methods were adopted and modified in order to separate these three types of tremor. Best discrimination between physiological and pathological tremors has been achieved by methods distinguishing nonlinear from linear behavior. On the other hand, methods separating different forms of nonlinear behavior have been found to be superior in discriminating parkinsonian and essential tremor. By these methods physiological and pathological tremors can be separated with an error rate below 20% and essential and parkinsonian tremor with an error rate below 10%. This may help to classify tremor time series by objective mathematical criteria and may increase the understanding of the pathophysiological differences underlying these kinds of tremor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
