Abstract

PurposeOsteoporosis (OP) is a malformation of the bones caused by the loss of bone mass and its mineral density, and also deterioration in bone quality or structures, causing an increased risk of fractures. Apart from bone cracks, damage to hip, spine vertebrae and wrist are the most prevalent.MethodThis work proposes a hybrid strategy to categorise the normal and abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) values obtained from 140 patients. Owing to the smaller sample and the large number of variables in a high-dimensional data classification issue, classical linear discriminant analysis (LDA) performs poorly, resulting in the instability and singularity of the sample covariance matrix. To suppress this, a normalised radial basis function neural network (NRBFNN) coupled with a modified version of LDA (MLDA) is being proposed through this paper for BMD evaluations. In this study, we propose a novel modified version of LDA (MLDA) based on a robust estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices, and has been proved to be asymptotically highly reliable than the sample covariance matrix.ResultsInstead of employing un-normalised RBF, NRBFNN is used for BMD classification. The suggested hybrid algorithm MLDA-NRBFNN achieved a classification accuracy of 97.5% on comparing with ANN, PAC-ANN and RBFN.ConclusionWith the intervention of the proposed method, the doctors could tend to have a precursor to assay the patients with varied bone ailments and to understand the recovery impact of knee replacement as well.
