single-channel recordings were provided produced by a low-
cost, portable device called KardiaMobile, manufactured by
AliveCor Inc. [6]. The length of the recordings ranged from
9.0 seconds to 61.0 seconds with an average of 32.5 seconds.
These samples were divided into four different classes: atrial
fibrillation, normal, noisy signals, and recordings from pa-
tients with other cardiac diseases, consisting of 771, 5154,
46, and 2557 samples, respectively.
