Seven predictive models using machine learning algorithms including random forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR), ridge classification (Ridge), backpropagation neural network (BP), and convolutional neural network (CNN) were evaluated and compared aiming to better differentiate between PD and ET by using accessible demographics and tremor information of the upper limbs. The tremor information including tremor acceleration and surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals were collected from 398 patients (PD = 257, ET = 141) and then were used to train the established models to separate PD and ET. The performance of the models was evaluated by indices of accuracy and area under the curve (AUC), which indicated the ensemble learning models including RF and XGBoost showed the best overall predictive ability with accuracy above 0.84 and AUC above 0.90. Furthermore, the relative importance of sex, age, four postures, and five tremor features was analyzed and ranked showing that the dominant frequency of sEMG of flexors, the average amplitude of sEMG of flexors, resting posture, and winging posture had a greater impact on the diagnosis of PD, whereas sex and age were less important. These results provide a reference for the intelligent diagnosis of PD and show promise for use in wearable tremor suppression devices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2022.701632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,22]],"date-time":"2022-03-22T19:50:49Z","timestamp":1647978649000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Identification and Classification of Parkinsonian and Essential Tremors for Diagnosis Using Machine Learning Algorithms"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Xupo","family":"Xing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ningdi","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liche","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chengli","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41531-019-0086-4","article-title":"Parkinson\u2019s progression prediction using machine learning and serum cytokines.","volume":"5","author":"Ahmadi Rastegar","year":"2019","journal-title":"NPJ Parkinsons Dis."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"543","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dsp.2011.01.010","article-title":"Classification of Parkinsonian and essential tremor using empirical mode decomposition and support vector machine.","volume":"21","author":"Ai","year":"2011","journal-title":"Digit.
