%ARRHYTHMIA 420 objects with 279 features in 12 classes
%
%        X = ARRHYTHMIA(CLASS,VAL)
%
% The aim is to distinguish between the presence and absence of cardiac
% arrhythmia and to classify it in one of the 16 groups. Class 01 refers
% to 'normal' ECG classes 02 to 15 refers to different classes of
% arrhythmia and class 16 refers to the rest of unclassified ones. 
%
%       X = ARRHYTHMIA(VAL);
%
% By default objects with missing values are removed. When something else
% is desired, use one of the options in MISVAL. As some features have
% many missing values we recommand to remove these features using
% VAL = 'f-remove'.
