Abstract. In this work we present a study which compares method based on inductive modeling called GAME with several classification algorithms. To compare these methods we will use long-time Holter ECG data. More specifically we focused on the task of classification of normal N beats and premature ventricularV beats. Some of the tested methods represent the state of the art in pattern analysis, while others are novel algorithms developed by us. All the algorithms were tested on the same datasets, namely the MIT-BIH and the AHA data bases. The results for all the employed methods are compared and evaluated using the measures of sensitivity and specificity.

Keywords. Inductive modeling, Holter ECG, heart beat classification, GAME
