Abstract

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition identified by the decline of neurons that produce dopamine, causing motor symptoms such as tremors and muscle stiffness. Early diagnosis is challenging as there is no definitive laboratory test. This study aims to improve the accuracy of Parkinson's diagnosis using voice recordings with machine learning algorithms, such as AdaBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost. The dataset used is Parkinson's Disease Detection from Kaggle, consisting of 195 records with 22 attributes. The data was normalized with Min-Max normalization, and class imbalance was resolved with ADASYN. Results show that ADASYN-LightGBM and ADASYN-CatBoost have the best performance with 96.92% accuracy, 97.10% precision, 96.92% recall, and 96.92% F1 score. This improvement suggests that combining boosting methods and data balancing techniques can improve the accuracy of Parkinson's diagnosis. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of ADASYN in addressing data imbalance and improving the performance of boosting algorithms for medical classification problems. The findings contribute to the development of intelligent diagnostic systems in the field of medical informatics and computer science. These findings are essential for developing more accurate and efficient diagnostic tools, supporting early diagnosis and better management of Parkinson's disease.
