Identification of Parkinson’s disease using MRI and genetic data from the PPMI cohort: an improved machine learning fusion approach by Yifeng Yang, Liangyun Hu, Yang Chen, Weidong Gu, Guangwu Lin, YuanZhong Xie, Shengdong Nie

“…Two multi-modal fusion strategies were used: feature-level fusion, where we employed a hybrid feature selection algorithm combining Fisher discriminant analysis, an ensemble Lasso (EnLasso) method, and partial least squares (PLS) regression to identify and integrate the most informative features from neuroimaging and genetic data; and decision-level fusion, where we developed an adaptive ensemble stacking (AE_Stacking) model to synergistically integrate the predictions from multiple base classifiers trained on individual modalities.ResultsThe AE_Stacking model achieving the highest average balanced accuracy of 95.36% and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.974, significantly outperforming feature-level fusion and single-modal models (p < 0.05). …”
