Lossy compression is a form of compression that slightly degrades a signal in ways that are ideally not detectable to the human ear. This is opposite to lossless compression, in which the sample is not degraded at all. While lossless compression may seem like the best option, lossy compression, which is used in most audio and video, reduces transmission time and results in much smaller file sizes. However, this compression can affect quality if it goes too far. The more compression there is on a waveform, the more degradation there is, and once a file is lossy compressed, this process is not reversible. This project will observe the degradation of an audio signal after the application of Singular Value Decomposition compression, a lossy compression that eliminates singular values from a signal’s matrix.
This paper serves to report the research performed towards detecting PD and the effects of medication through the use of machine learning and finger tapping data collected through mobile devices. The primary objective for this research is to prototype a PD classification model and a medication classification model that predict the following: the individual’s disease status and the medication intake time relative to performing the finger-tapping activity, respectively.
