| Abstract | The goal of this chapter is to describe the use of statistical pattern recognition techniques in order to build a classification model for the early diagnosis of peripheral diabetic neuropathy. In particular, the authors present two experimental methodologies, based on linear discriminant analysis and Bayes vec- tor quantizer algorithms respectively. The former algorithm has demonstrated the best performance in distinguish between non-neuropathic and neuropathic patients, while the latter is able to build models that recognize the severity of the neuropathy. |
