- Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is a gradient degeneration of essential cognitive activities that mainly affects elderly individuals. Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease by neuropsychological assessments is considered an important step in disease management. However, using a single neuropsychological assessment technique often leads to a high rate of misdiagnosis of the disease. To tackle this issue, we built a Random Forest machine learning algorithm with five different neuropsychological assessments to predict Alzheimer’s disease. A total of 1761 samples acquired from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database were classified into cognitively normal (CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer’s disease groups. we create three separate subsets, namely CN vs. AD, CN vs. MCI, and AD vs. MCI for train and test the Random Forest model. Our model achieved high accuracy in distinguishing between the healthy and affected groups, it attained an accuracy of 97.74% with the CN vs. AD subset and 94.65% with the CN vs. MCI subset, making it capable of quickly diagnosis of AD. Our study suggests a robust and efficient Random Forest classifier for Alzheimer’s disease prediction.
