Abstract :
In order to define a fair, standard way to evaluate the performance of increasingly complex EMG decomposition algorithms, a five-step method is proposed that compares the annotations generated by a decomposition algorithm to a set of annotations accepted as "true". The method generates and reports a confusion matrix, as well as the sensitivity, positive predictability, and accuracy of the decomposition algorithm.
