Gradient Descent Machine Learning with Equivalency Testing for Non-Subject Dependent Applications in Human Activity Recognition

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: A solution to subject-independent HAR prediction through machine learning classification algorithms using statistical equivalency for comparative analysis between independent groups with non-subject training dependencies.OBJECTIVES: To indicate that the multinomial predictive classification model that was trained and optimized on the one-subject control group is at least partially extensible to multiple independent experiment groups for at least one activity class.METHODS: Gradient boosted machine multinomial classification algorithm is trained on a single individual with the classifier trained on all activity classes as a multinomial classification problem.RESULTS: Levene-Wellek-Welch (LWW) Statistic calculated as 0.021, with a Critical Value for LWW of 0.026, using an alpha of 0.05.CONCLUSION: Confirmed falsifiability that incorporates reproducible methods into the quasi-experiment design applied to the field of machine learning for human activity recognition.
