The classification of Parkinson speech with feature selection by using the forest optimization algorithm
Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative
disorder of the central nervous system. Patients with
Parkinson's disease suffer from tremor, slowed
movement, and speech impairment, especially dysphonia
which is the most important precursor of changing in
articulation and speech. So using speech data, researchers
intend to classify the Parkinson's patients and healthy
persons by their speech signals without invasive
diagnostic. This study aims to improve the classification
efficiency and reduce the attribute space of collected data.
By modifying continuous search space in Forest
Optimization Algorithm (FOA) for discrete search space,
the proposed Feature Selection Forest Optimization
Algorithm (FSFOA) iteratively selects a subset feature of
the Parkinson speech dataset using the feedback from
classification accuracy of machine learning models. The
Machine Learning algorithms including K-Nearest
Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM),
Decision Tree (DT) and Naïve Bayes (NB) were used to
classify healthy controls from PD patients. Each
classification algorithm was validated using the average
classification accuracy from leave-one-subject-out
(LOSO), 2-fold, and 10-fold cross-validation methods.
The result shows that the best of cross-validation is
LOSO; both of the classification accuracy and attribute
space reduction. The KNN classifier with k parameter of
3 is the best classification accuracy of 95.24 percent, and the
SVM classifier of 53.85 percent is the highest dimensionality
reduction. This proposed method can be applied to other
datasets.
