In the present work, we propose a novel algorithm based on the Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) for pattern recognition of signals, which operates both feature selection and classification at the same time: Wavelet Packet Transform for Efficient pattern Recognition of signals (WPTER). The distinctive characteristics of WPTER with respect to the previously proposed algorithms for the WPT-based classification of signals consist mainly of two aspects: (1) a Classification Ability criterion is introduced into the procedure for selection of the best discriminant basis; (2) the signals are reconstructed in the original domain by using only the selected wavelet coefficients, which allow for chemical interpretation of the results.
