Classification of cardiotocography records by random forest

The cardiotocography (CTG) is a diagnostic method which is widely used in prenatal care. The CTG is indicated since 27 weeks of pregnancy and it measures heart activity, uterine contraction and fetal movement. Results of the CTG allow recognizing of three basic different fetal states (physiological, suspect and pathological) and an obstetrician can determine a diagnosis and evaluate situation which can lead to the fetus death. The main aim of this work is to suggest and to test algorithm for automatic recognition of above mentioned states. This task is especially used in prenatal care as a support decision system.
