Entropy chain multi-label classifiers for traditional medicine diagnosing Parkinson's disease

Abstract

Parkinson disease is a chronic, degenerative disease of the central nervous system, which commonly occurs in the elderly. Until now, no treatment has shown efficacy. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a new way for Parkinson, and the data of Chinese Medicine for Parkinson is a multi-label dataset. Classifier Chains(CC) is a popular multi-label classification algorithm, this algorithm considers the relativity between labels, and contains the high efficiency of Binary classification algorithm at the same time. But CC algorithm does not indicate how to obtain the predicted order chain actually, while more emphasizes the randomness or artificially specified. In this paper, we try to apply Multi-label classification technology to build a model of Chinese Medicine for Parkinson, which we hope to improve this field. We propose a new algorithm ETCC based on CC model. This algorithm can optimize the order chain on global perspective and have a better result than the algorithm CC.
