Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study on classifying depressed and healthy individuals using the Depresjon dataset, which contains motor activity data collected from wearable devices. We prepared six different datasets, including raw data, normalised raw data, PCA-transformed data, and statistical features extracted from the raw data. We trained and evaluated six popular machine learning algorithms and their combinations using a 5-fold cross-validation technique. Our results demonstrate that most models achieved the highest accuracy with the normalised statistical feature dataset. Furthermore, we fine-tuned these algorithms using GridSearchCV and selected the best threshold using the ROC curve. Our findings provide valuable insights into the potential of wearable sensor data for detecting and predicting depressive episodes.
