abstract = "The paper investigates the possibilities of the
genetic programming approach in task of arterial
hypertension patients diagnosing. For this purpose, the
3-stage functional clinical study involving the tilt
test was performed on two groups: relatively healthy
volunteers and patients suffering from the arterial
hypertension of II-III degree. The study was focused on
the analysis of the 64 features of heart rate
variability signals, evaluated by the time-domain,
frequency-domain (Fourier and wavelet) and nonlinear
methods. Performance of different machine learning
approaches was compared: Discriminant Analysis, Nearest
Neighbours, Decision Trees and Naive Bayes. All
calculations were performed in the in-house software
written on Python. The results of genetic programming
application show the significant improvement of the
classification accuracy over the previously obtained
results of search on the non-correlated features
space.",
