Depression: Logistic Regression
摘要
In recent years, the world’s population has been aging (United Nations Population Division 2002). Elderly people often develop depression due to decline in physical functions, health concerns, bereavement of friends, and loneliness, and it is one of the most common diseases among the elderly along with dementia (Beekman et al. 1999). We proposed a voice evaluation index based on logistic regression to detect depression in the elderly that replaces vitality and mental activity by combining the emotional components of the voice (Higuchi et al. 2017, 2018a).
