Abstract
Objectives: Neuropsychological tests (NPTs) are widely used took to evaluate cognitive functioning. The interpretation of these tests can be time-consuming and requires a specialized clinician. For this reason, we trained machine learning models that detect normal controls (NC), cognitive impairment (CI), and dementia among subjects. Patients and methods: A total number of 14,927 subject datasets were collected from the formal neuropsychological assessments Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery (SNSB) by well-qualified neuropsychologists. The dataset included 44 NPTs of SNSB, age, education level, and diagnosis of each participant. The dataset was preprocessed and classified according to three different classes NC, CI, and dementia. We trained machine-learning with a supervised machine learning classifier algorithm support vector machine (SVM) 30 times with classification from scikit-learn (https://scikit-learn.org/stablet) to distinguish the prediction accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the models; NC vs. CI, NC vs. dementia, and NC vs. CI vs. dementia. Confusion matrixes were plotted using the testing dataset for each model. Results: The trained model's 30 times mean accuracies for predicting cognitive states were as follows; NC vs. CI model was 88.61 +/- 1.44%, NC vs. dementia model was 97.74 +/- 5.78%, and NC vs. CI vs. dementia model was 83.85 +/- 4.33%. NC vs. dementia showed the highest accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 97.74 +/- 5.78, 97.99 +/- 5.78, and 96.08 +/- 4.33% in predicting dementia among subjects, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the results, the SVM algorithm is more appropriate in training models on an imbalanced dataset for a good prediction accuracy compared to natural network and logistic regression algorithms. The NC vs. dementia machine-learning trained model with SVM based on NPTs SNSB dataset could assist neuropsychologists in classifying the cognitive function of subjects.
