Abstract

An exemplary method for analyzing behavior of a system includes receiving dynamical measurement data regarding the system, applying a quadratically constrained quadratic 0-1 problem to identify data among the received data, and storing the identified data. An exemplary seizure warning method includes continuously calculating STL max values, identifying critical sites by applying a quadratically constrained quadratic 0-1 solution to data (e.g. STL max profiles) derived from pre-seizure onset and post-seizure onset EEG signals, monitoring a T-index curve of the identified critical sites, warning of an impending seizure, observing a seizure and then repeating the cycle by identifying critical sites using the new data, and then monitoring them.
