    Objective: To investigate metabolic changes of mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD-MCI) using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI). Methods: Sixteen healthy controls (HC), 26 cognitively normal Parkinson’s disease (PD-CN) patients, and 34 PD-MCI patients were scanned in this prospective study. Neuropsychological tests were performed, and three-dimensional 1H-MRSI was obtained at 3 T. Metabolic parameters and neuropsychological test scores were compared between PD-MCI, PD-CN, and HC. The correlations between neuropsychological test scores and metabolic intensities were also assessed. Supervised machine learning algorithms were applied to classify HC, PD-CN, and PD-MCI groups based on metabolite levels. Results: PD-MCI had a lower corrected total N-acetylaspartate over total creatine ratio (tNAA/tCr) in the right precentral gyrus, corresponding to the sensorimotor network (p = 0.01), and a lower tNAA over myoinositol ratio (tNAA/mI) at a part of the default mode network, corresponding to the retrosplenial cortex (p = 0.04) than PD-CN. The HC and PD-MCI patients were classified with an accuracy of 86.4% (sensitivity = 72.7% and specificity = 81.8%) using bagged trees. Conclusion: 1H-MRSI revealed metabolic changes in the default mode, ventral attention/salience, and sensorimotor networks of PD-MCI patients, which could be summarized mainly as ‘posterior cortical metabolic changes’ related with cognitive dysfunction.

    VC-dimension of univariate decision trees
    (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015-02-25) Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we give and prove the lower bounds of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC)-dimension of the univariate decision tree hypothesis class. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree depends on the VC-dimension values of its subtrees and the number of inputs. Via a search algorithm that calculates the VC-dimension of univariate decision trees exhaustively, we show that our VC-dimension bounds are tight for simple trees. To verify that the VC-dimension bounds are useful, we also use them to get VC-generalization bounds for complexity control using structural risk minimization in decision trees, i.e., pruning. Our simulation results show that structural risk minimization pruning using the VC-dimension bounds finds trees that are more accurate as those pruned using cross validation.

    Theta and Beta1 frequency band values predict dyslexia classification
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2025-12-29) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    Dyslexia, impacting children's reading skills, prompts families to seek cost-effective neurofeedback therapy solutions. Utilising machine learning, we identified predictive factors for dyslexia classification. Employing advanced techniques, we gathered 14-channel Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) data from 200 participants, achieving 99.6% dyslexic classification accuracy through cross-validation. During validation, 48% of dyslexic children's sessions were consistently classified as normal, with a 95% confidence interval of 47.31 to 48.68. Focusing on individuals consistently diagnosed with dyslexia during therapy, we found that dyslexic individuals exhibited higher theta values and lower beta1 values compared to typically developing children. This study pioneers machine learning in predicting dyslexia classification factors, offering valuable insights for families considering neurofeedback therapy investment.
