Abstract
The detection of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is vital as it affects the population worldwide and decreases the quality of life. The disability and death rate due to PD is increasing at an unprecedented rate, more than any other neurological disorder. To this date, no diagnostic procedures exist for this disease. However, several computational approaches have proven successful in detecting PD at early stages, overcoming the disadvantages of traditional methods of diagnosis. In this study, a machine learning (ML) detection system based on the voice signals of PD patients is proposed. The AdaBoost classifier has been utilized to construct the model and trained on a dataset obtained from the machine learning repository of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). This dataset includes voice attributes such as time-frequency features, Mel frequency cepstral coefficients, wavelet transform features, vocal fold features, and tremor waveform quality time. The model demonstrated promising performance, achieving high accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC score of 0.96, 0.98, 0.93, 0.95, and 0.99, respectively. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed model is rigorously assessed through cross-validation, revealing consistent performance across all iterations. The overarching objective of this study is to contribute to the scientific community by furnishing a robust system for the detection of PD.
