“…In their study, support vector machine (SVM) in combination with the feature selection approach was taken to diagnose PD, the simulation results has shown that the proposed method can discriminate PD patients from healthy ones with approximately 90% classification accuracy using only four dysphonic features. After then, various techniques have been devel-oped to study the PD diagnosis problem from the perspective of dysphonic indicators, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) [6,7], SVM [8,9], Dirichlet process mixtures [10], multi-kernel relevance vector machines [11], similarity classifier [12], rotation forest [13], fuzzy k-nearest neighbor (FKNN) [14]. Among the proposed methods, SVM has shown to be a very promising tool for diagnosing PD.…”
