What is Automated Huntington's Disease Prognosis via Biomedical Signals and Shallow Machine Learning about?

Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare, genetically determined brain disorder that limits the life of the patient, although early prognosis of HD can substantially improve the patient's quality of life. Current HD prognosis methods include using a variety of complex biomarkers such as clinical and imaging factors, however these methods have many shortfalls, such as their resource demand and failure to distinguish symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Quantitative biomedical signaling has been used for diagnosis of other neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and has potential for exposing abnormalities in HD patients. Methodology: In this project, we used a premade, certified dataset collected at a clinic with 27 HD positive patients, 36 controls, and 6 unknowns with electroencephalography, electrocardiography, and functional near-infrared spectroscopy data. We first preprocessed the data and extracted a variety of features from both the transformed and raw signals, after which we applied a plethora of shallow machine learning techniques. Results: We found the highest accuracy was achieved by a scaled-out Extremely Randomized Trees algorithm, with area under the cur
