Diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease using evolutionary algorithms

Abstract: This paper describes the novel application of an evolutionary algorithm to discriminate Parkinson's patients from age-matched controls in their response to simple figure-copying tasks. The reliable diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is notoriously difficult to achieve with misdiagnosis reported to be as high as 25% of cases. The approach described in this paper aims to distinguish between the velocity profiles of pen movements of patients and controls to identify distinguishing artifacts that may be indicative o… Show more

“…In previous work on automated Parkinson's diagnosis [18], it was shown that evolved IRCGP solutions are able to describe acceleration patterns which are over-represented in the movements of Parkinson's patients relative to control subjects. In this work, we extend the approach to the multiclass cube drawing classification task described in Section II.…”

“…Comparative analysis between the ANN, DT, Logistic Regression and data mining approaches on the PD classification proved the superiority of ANN with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to the others [14]. Genetic Programming (GP)-based PD classification was presented in [15] where PD diagnosis is done using analyzing simple gure copying tasks. GPbased feature selection on vocal features set with the classification scheme of Expectation Maximization (EM) was proposed in [16] for PD classification.…”
