Parkinsons Disease SVM Model
The purpose of this project is to develop a machine learning model capable of detecting Parkinson's
disease based on voice measurements and other features. Parkinson's disease is a progressive
neurological disorder that affects movement and can also impact vocal function. Early detection is
crucial for managing and treating the disease effectively. By analyzing specific attributes in voice
recordings, such as frequency and amplitude, this system aims to predict whether an individual is
likely to have Parkinson's disease.
The scope of the project includes:
1. Data Collection and Analysis: The model uses a pre-existing dataset (`parkinsons.csv`)
containing various biomedical voice measurements from patients, with `status` as the target
label (indicating Parkinson's presence).
2. Preprocessing: This involves data cleaning, feature selection, and data standardization to
prepare the dataset for effective modeling.
3. Modeling: A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to classify whether an individual has
Parkinson's disease. The model is trained on 80% of the data, with 20% used for testing its
performance.
4. Evaluation: The model is evaluated using accuracy metrics to determine how well it predicts
Parkinson's status. The project includes both training and test accuracy evaluations.
5. Predictive System: After training, the model can predict Parkinson's disease based on new voice
data, allowing it to be integrated into practical healthcare systems for early diagnosis.
6. Applications: The system can be used in medical research, clinical diagnostics, and by healthcare
providers to detect Parkinson’s disease in its early stages, improving the prognosis and quality of
life for patients.
The project demonstrates the use of machine learning in healthcare, highlighting the role of AI in
detecting diseases from non-invasive data like voice measurements.
