Comments on "Pole-Zero Modeling and Classification of Phonocardiograms"

Recently,1 the Steiglitz-McBride method was used to identify the two most dominant frequencies in aortic heart sounds from porcine prosthetic heart valves. A quadratic classifier was developed to evaluate valve sounds in a test set. We have corrected computational errors, recomputed their results, and interchanged the training and test sets to yield new results.
