A Comprehensive Study on Machine Learning Methods to Increase the Prediction Accuracy of Classifiers and Reduce the Number of Medical Tests Required to Diagnose Alzheimer'S Disease
This addresses the challenge of costly and time-consuming medical testing for Alzheimer's diagnosis, though it appears incremental as it fine-tunes existing methods.
The study tackled the problem of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease by aiming to reduce the number of medical tests needed while maintaining accuracy, achieving a 94% detection rate using only 4 out of 30 indicators.
Alzheimer's patients gradually lose their ability to think, behave, and interact with others. Medical history, laboratory tests, daily activities, and personality changes can all be used to diagnose the disorder. A series of time-consuming and expensive tests are used to diagnose the illness. The most effective way to identify Alzheimer's disease is using a Random-forest classifier in this study, along with various other Machine Learning techniques. The main goal of this study is to fine-tune the classifier to detect illness with fewer tests while maintaining a reasonable disease discovery accuracy. We successfully identified the condition in almost 94% of cases using four of the thirty frequently utilized indicators.
