Abstract

Early detection of dementia through the use of machine learning classification algorithms is important for providing appropriate interventions to patients. In this context, this study aims to compare the performance of several machine learning classification algorithms in detecting dementia using the attribute selection method. In the early stages, patient data including medical history, cognitive test results, and other attributes were collected as input, an attribute selection algorithm was used to select the most informative attribute subset in detecting dementia. The subset of attributes used as input for training machine learning classification models, several classification algorithms such as Extra Trees (ET), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Random Forest (RF) and Ridge. In this study, accuracy is used as the main metric to compare algorithm performance. The evaluation results show that the Random Forest (RF) algorithm produces the best performance with an accuracy of 91.56%. The Extra Trees (ET) algorithm has an almost comparable accuracy of 91.44%, while Ridge and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) have an accuracy of 90.44% respectively. In the context of dementia detection, the performance of the Random Forest algorithm with the attribute selection method proved to be the best with an accuracy of 91.56%. These results indicate that the developed model is capable of recognizing complex patterns and relationships between features that are relevant to dementia status. The use of the attribute selection method also contributes to increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the classification algorithm.
