Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by a variety of motor and nonmotor symptoms and is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. In the first stages of PD, a person may have trouble speaking or be unable to use their voice. Biomedical signal processing is now a major area of study. Therefore, diagnostic tools using voice analysis are urgently required since vocal impairment is among the first symptoms of PD. If PD can be diagnosed and treated early on, both the patient and their carers stand to benefit. Additionally, this may aid resource allocation at hospital administration hubs. The purpose of this research is to examine and compare the available machine learning techniques for effectively diagnosing PD. The dataset we analyzed is available in the UCI machine learning repository. The performance of several machine learning techniques is tested on this dataset. The suggested model achieves a 93% success rate on the test task when several learning models are stacked on top of one another.
