2 Motivation Outline 1 Motivation Parkinson s Disease 2 Data 3 Handwriting features 4 Classification 5 Additional handwriting analysis 6 Conclusions P. Drotár et al. (Brno University of Technology) Handwriting - marker for PD SPLab Workshop / 28

3 Parkinson s Disease Motivation Parkinson s Disease neurodegenerative disorder affecting mainly elderly high prevalence rates (4.1 mil) - second most common neurodegenerative disorder difficult diagnosis causes are unknown causes under research include: genetics, age, toxins syndroms: tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia P. Drotár et al. (Brno University of Technology) Handwriting - marker for PD SPLab Workshop / 28

4 Motivation Handwriting - marker for PD Parkinson s Disease bradykinesia micrographia - characterized by decreased letter size and by changes in kinematic aspects of handwriting kinematic variables have been shown to be sensitive measures for alterations of handwriting movements decreased letter size, decreased velocities of writing, increased movement time,... complete picture of the extent to which any one measurement or set of measurements is useful in predict is still missing handwriting - sensitive measure of micrographia in PD advantages over other approaches include: avoid usual pickles of speech signals acquisition and processing no need for special sensors (wearable sensors) P.

21 Classification Support Vector Machines To learn non-linearly separable functions, the data are implicitly mapped to a higher dimensional space by means of a kernel function, where a separating hyperplane is found. New samples are classified according to the side of the hyperplane they belong to. RapidMiner P. Drotár et al. (Brno University of Technology) Handwriting - marker for PD SPLab Workshop / 28

22 Classification Numerical results Feature selection SVM Relief algorithm Radial basis function kernel The parameters kernel gamma γ, penalty parameter C and convergence epsilon ɛ were optimized using grid search of possible values. Specifically, we searched over the grid (C, γ, ɛ) defined by the product of the sets C = [10 5, 10 4,..., 10 3, 10 4 ], γ = [10 5, 10 4,...,, 10 2, 10 3 ] and ɛ = [10 5, 10 4,..., 10 2, 10 3 ] Classifier validation was conducted using a leave-one-out approach The process was repeated a total of 50 times, where in each repetition the original dataset was randomly permuted prior to splitting into training and testing subsets P.
