PD
REGRESSION
Gait and postural transition parameters were collected from 84 early-stage PD and 80 ET subjects during the Time Up and Go (TUG) test. We randomly split our data into training and test data. Within the training data, we separated the TUG test into four components: standing, straight walk, turning, and sitting to build weighted average ensemble classification models. The four components’ weight indices were trained using logistic regression. Several ensemble models’ leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) performances were compared. Independent test data were used to evaluate the model with the best LOOCV performance.
