Abstract

Clinical decision- making needs available information to be the guidance for physicians. Nowadays, data mining method is applied in medical research in order to analyze large volume of medical data. This study attempts to use data mining method to analyze the databank of Parkinson’s disease and explore whether the voice measurement variables can be the diagnostic tool for the Parkinson’s disease.
