Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) cause, among other symptoms, impairment of gait. Numerous studies analyze gait to, with the aid of artificial intelligence, assist in the diagnosis of NDDs. Due to the difficulty of collecting new data, the technique of oversampling through data windowing is often used. However, a previous study pointed to a possible bias in the training phase of classification algorithms using windowing techniques. This work investigates this bias, evaluating, in addition to the traditionally used cross-validation, a second approach, in which we address the pointed bias. The results indicate the need for extra care when dealing with oversampling of gait temporal data.
