  • Abstract
    An event identification and classification technique in which electromyographic (EMG) signals are transformed from the time domain into a probability space using nonparametric statistics is reported. Data points with a high probability of being an event are collected into similarity groups using rank-order statistics. EMG interpulse-interval data are used to establish the motor unit components of the detected superimposition events
