Electrodermal activity (EDA) reflects sympathetic nervous system activitythrough sweating-related changes in skin conductance. Decomposition analysisis used to deconvolve the EDA into slow and fast varying tonic and phasicactivity, respectively. In this study, we used machine learning models to comparethe performance of two EDA decomposition algorithms to detect emotions such asamusing, boring, relaxing, and scary. The EDA data considered in this study wereobtained from the publicly available Continuously Annotated Signals of Emotion(CASE) dataset. Initially, we pre-processed and deconvolved the EDA data intotonic and phasic components using decomposition methods such as cvxEDA andBayesianEDA. Further, twelve-time domain features were extracted from the phasiccomponent of EDA data. Finally, we applied machine learning techniques suchas logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM), to evaluate the performanceof the decomposition method. Our results imply that the BayesianEDAdecomposition method outperforms the cvxEDA. The mean of first derivative featurediscriminated all the considered emotional pairs with high statistical significance(p<0.05). SVM was able to detect emotions better than the LR classifier.We achieved a 10-fold average classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision,and f1-score of 88.2%, 76.25%, 92.08%, 76.16%, and 76.15% respectively,using BayesianEDA and SVM classifier. The proposed framework can be utilizedto detect emotional states for the early diagnosis of psychological conditions.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely adopted by families with autistic children. This study aims to predict family caregivers' CAM implementation based on the behavioral (degree and betweenness), environmental (positive feedback and social persuasion), and personal features (language style) of family caregivers in online communities.
