To determine whether machine learning algorithms trained on spectral speech features can accurately differentiate individuals with Parkinson's disease from healthy controls.
Analyzed an audio dataset of 81 voice samples, comprising 40 patients with Parkinson's disease and 41 healthy controls.
Extracted Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and subband-based cepstral coefficients (SBCs) from the audio signals.
Trained and evaluated three machine learning classifiers: Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Support Vector Machines (SVM).
The Random Forest model trained on subband-based cepstral coefficients (RF-SBC) demonstrated the highest overall diagnostic performance among evaluated models.
The RF-SBC model achieved 96% accuracy, 91.67% sensitivity, and an Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC-ROC) of 98.08%.
