Up to 90 dysathria (HD) which is also manifested in the field of phonation. Clinical signs of HD like monoloudness, monopitch or hoarse voice are usually quantified by conventional clinical interpretable features (jitter, shimmer, harmonic-to-noise ratio, etc.). This paper provides large and robust insight into perceptual analysis of 5 Czech vowels of 84 PD patients and proves that despite the clinical inexplicability the perceptual features outperform the conventional ones, especially in terms of discrimination power (classification accuracy ACC = 92 partial correlation with clinical scores like UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale), MMSE (Mini-mental state examination) or FOG (Freezing of gait questionnaire), where p < 0.0001.
