Classification of Parkinsonian Syndromes from FDG-PET Brain Data Using Decision Trees with SSM/PCA Features

Table 5

The LOOCV performance for various types of classifier. Features used were the subject scores obtained after applying the SSM/PCA method on all subjects included in the datasets. () Note that for LDA only 90% of the features were considered because of the classifier’s restrictions while constructing the covariance matrix. For easy reference, the feature preselection results for C4.5 already presented in Table 2 are included.
