Code for the experimentation of the paper "An ordinal CNN approach for the assessment of neurological damage in Parkinson's disease patients" (pending review)

Python 3.8 is required to run the experiments, along with the requirements specified in the requirements.txt file. To automatically install these requirements using pip, run the following command:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

The signac project first needs to be initialized by providing the path to the folder containing:

• The labels.csv file with the image filenames and corresponding labels
• The mni directory, containing the image files in MNI152 standard space

python init.py <path to folder>

This will create all the validation jobs for the experimentation.

The generated jobs can then be ran using the signac CLI interface:

python project.py submit  # for submitting to an installed and configured scheduler
python project.py run     # for running locally

For more information on how to use the signac CLI, go to the signac documentation.

Once all validation jobs have been completed, the evaluation jobs can be created and ran:

python add_evaluation_jobs.py

# Like before, jobs can be submitted or ran locally
# Completed jobs will not be executed twice
python project.py submit # or
python project.py run

After all evaluation jobs are completed, the results can be extracted to spreadsheet files:

python extract_results.py
