Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neuro-degenerative disease due to loss of brain cells, which produces dopamine. It is most common after Alzheimer’s disease specially seen in old age people. In the earlier stage of disease, it has been noticed that most of the people suffering from speech disorder. From last two decades many studies have been conducted for the analysis of vocal tremors in PD. This study explores the combined approach of Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Hilbert spectrum analysis (HSA) to investigate the voice tremor of patients with PD. A new set of features Hilbert cepstral coefficients (HCCs) are proposed in this study. Proposed features are assessed using vowels and words of PC-GITA database. The effectiveness of HCC features is utilized to perform classification, and regression analysis for PD detection. The highest average classification accuracy up to 91% and 96% is obtained with vowel /a/ and word /apto/ respectively. Further the classification accuracy up to 82% is obtained with independent dataset, when tested with the optimized model developed using PC-GITA database. In dysarthria level prediction highest correlation up to 0.82 is obtained using vowel /a/ and 0.8 with word /petaka/. The outcomes of this study indicate that the proposed articulatory features are suitable and accurate for PD assessment.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder prevalent in old age. Past studies have shown that speech can be used as an early marker for identification of PD. It affects a number of speech components such as phonation, speech intensity, articulation, and respiration, which alters the speech intelligibility. Speech feature extraction and classification always have been challenging tasks due to the existence of non-stationary and discontinuity in the speech signal. In this study, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based features are demonstrated to capture the speech characteristics. A new feature, intrinsic mode function cepstral coefficient (IMFCC) is proposed to efficiently represent the characteristics of Parkinson speech. The performances of proposed features are assessed with two different datasets: dataset-1 and dataset-2 each having 20 normal and 25 Parkinson affected peoples. From the results, it is demonstrated that the proposed intrinsic mode function cepstral coefficient feature provides superior classification accuracy in both data-sets. There is a significant increase of 10–20% in accuracy compared to the standard acoustic and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurological disorder that typically affects elderly people. In the earlier stage of disease, it has been seen that 90% of the patients develop voice disorders namely hypokinetic dysarthria. As time passes, the severity of PD increases, and patients have difficulty performing different speech tasks. During the progression of the disease, due to less control of articulatory organs such as the tongue, jaw, and lips, the quality of speech signals deteriorates. Periodic medical evaluations are very important for PD patients; however, having access to a medical appointment with a neurologist is a privilege in most countries. Considering that the speech recording process is inexpensive and very easy to do, we want to explore in this paper the suitability of mapping information of the dysarthria level into the neurological state of patients and vice versa. Three levels of severity are considered in a multiclass framework using time-frequency (TF) features and random-forest along with an Error-Correcting Output Code (ECOC) approach. The multiclass classification task based on dysarthria level is performed using the TF features with words and diadochokinetic (DDK) speech tasks. The developed model shows an unweighted average recall (UAR) of 68.49% with the DDK task /pakata/ based on m-FDA level, and 48.8% with the word /petaka/ based on the UPDRS level using the Random Forest classifier. With the aim, to evaluate the neurological states using the dysarthria level, the developed models are used to predict the MDS-UPDRS-III level of patients. The highest matching accuracy of 32% with the word /petaka/ is achieved. Similarly, the multiclass classification framework based on MDS-UPDRS-III is applied to predict the dysarthria level of patients. In this case, the highest matching accuracy of 18% was obtained with the DDK tasks /pataka/.
