Title
A comparison of multiple classification methods for diagnosis of Parkinson disease
Abstract
In this paper, different types of classification methods are compared for effective diagnosis of Parkinson's diseases. The reliable diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is notoriously difficult to achieve with misdiagnosis reported to be as high as 25% of cases. The approaches described in this paper purpose to efficiently distinguish healthy individuals. Four independent classification schemas were applied and a comparative study was carried out. These are Neural Networks, DMneural, Regression and Decision Tree respectively. Various evaluation methods were employed for calculating the performance score of the classifiers. According to the application scores, neural networks classifier yields the best results. The overall classification score for neural network is 92.9%. Moreover, we compared our results with the result that was obtained by kernel support vector machines [Singh, N., Pillay, V., & Choonara, Y. E. (2007). Advances in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Progress in Neurobiology, 81, 29-44]. To the best of our knowledge, our correct classification score is the highest so far.
