Comparative Analysis of Predictive Models to Detect Alzheimer’s Disease
摘要
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, often affecting people above the age of 60, as all the brain connections and cells themselves start to die, affecting motor, speech and memory, slowing eating away a person once it sets out as it is a non-curable disease as of now. But an early and easy diagnosis may help slow down the process and start treatment, so it is essential to diagnose it quickly. But this disease needs a number of tests and time to determine the diagnosis, and time is of the essence. Various Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are being applied nowadays, with newer methods being trialed every day for the detection of Alzheimer’s more consistently and easily, but it is essential to apply the most accurate of models and require only the optimum number, and cost efficient tests for reliable diagnosis so this horrid disease could be started the treatment for as soon as possible. This paper is presenting its arguments for various methods of prediction of Alzheimer’s to improve efficiency of detection, a comparison of models taking into consideration the costs, the accuracy and the true benefit of the test for early tackling of this illness.
