Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one type of dementia. It is a brain disorder disease that primarily affects people over the age of 60, but it is now affecting middle age people also. Various techniques have been developed to find and control the disease. At present, the research is carried out for the prediction of AD at its early stage. While using large datasets, feature extraction process is one of the issues of the disease prediction. Efficient early categorization of the AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from cognitive normal (CN) is necessary as prompt preventive care could assist to reduce risk factors. So, neuro-imaging-based diagnosing system for Alzheimer disease (NIDS-AD) is proposed here. In this proposed method, feature extraction is performed and then classification is done on the dataset using machine learning algorithms. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to extract the features, and the extracted features are reduced using principal component analysis technique. Then, the extracted feature coefficients are used to represent the image as input for the classification process. Decision tree (DT) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are the two classifiers used for the classification process. Finally, DT classifier obtains accuracy value of 93.3% which is better than LDA classifier.
