Machine-learning-based investigation on classifying binary and multiclass behavior outcomes of children with PIMD/SMID

Recently, the importance of weather parameters and location information to better understand the context of the communication of children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) or severe motor and intellectual disorders (SMID) has been proposed. However, an investigation on whether these data can be used to classify their behavior for system optimization aimed for predicting their behavior for independent communication and mobility has not been done. Thus, this study investigates whether recalibrating the datasets including either minor or major behavior categories or both, combining location and weather data and feature selection method training (Boruta) would allow more accurate classification of behavior discriminated to binary and multiclass classification outcomes using eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and neural network (NN) classifiers. Multiple single-subject face-to-face and video-recorded sessions were conducted among 20 purposively sampled 8 to 10 -year old children diagnosed with PIMD/SMID or severe or profound intellectual disabilities and their caregivers.
