Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease has traditionally involved clinical assessments by neurologists, and this practice still persists today to a significant extent. However, clinical assessments can be prone to subjectivity. In this study, a comprehensive predictive modeling approach was undertaken, employing nine dis¬tinct machine learning algorithms and six different model evaluation metrics to identify the best per¬forming algorithms. The findings reveal that, using only 12 vocal characteristics, KNeighborsClassfier (KNC), MLPClassifier (MLP), and XGBClassifier (XGBC) achieved the highest score of 0.87. This score is generally considered very good, indicating that the model is robust and possesses strong predictive power. This study marks a crucial initial step in leveraging machine learning techniques for more effective and potentially more accurate diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease based on patients’ vocal characteristics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
