Effect of Normalization Techniques on Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network Classification Performance for Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Diagnosis

In this study, Doppler signals were recorded from 40 healthy volunteers and the right and left hand ulnar and radial arteries of 40 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Multiple Signal Classification method, one of the subspace signal processing methods is applied to the obtained Doppler signals and the feature of signs has been reached. Diseased and healthy people have been distinguished by using three different normalization techniques, including z score, minimum maximum and decimal scaling and artificial neural networks classification. K fold cross validation, classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are used to interpret and described the results of medical diagnostic test.
