Expert System to Manage Parkinson Disease by Identifying Risk Factors: TD-Rules-PD

Abstract

Advent of modern means of living and busy schedule, a person generally forget to look after the health and thereby prone to some of severe health disorders. From various researches it is clear that Parkinson Disease (PD) basically occur due to negligence of an individual. It is a disorderliness that affects a small part of the brain that manages the gesture and mental order. The syndrome vary from person. Generally PD is identified from a certain age level but recent studies shown that people of any age group can suffer from PD. Considering the extremity, if there is an system to identify the major factors of PD then it would be of great importance. Thus an expert system named Transparent Decision Rules for Parkinson Disease (TD-Rules-PD) is proposed in this paper which finds out the high risk factor of PD. TD-Rules-PD consist of four phases: Rule Production, Rule selection, Rule pruning and Merging and Identify High Risk Factor. Rule Production stage uses Decision tree to produce rules. Rule selection step choose the most efficient rules, from the so collected rules Rule Pruning and Merging step drops the confusing and insignificant rules and then combines the flittered rule set to a single rule and finally Identify High Risk Factor stage finds out the most prevailing factor of PD.
