چکیده
The Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and degenerative disease of the brain which causes a serious impairment over its two main activities: thinking and memory. According to Celsis (Celsis, 2000), AD is the most common form of dementia among the elderly population, comprising up to 75% of all dementia cases. AD causes a gradual loss of intellectual abilities with deterioration in cognition, function, and behavior, affecting many aspects of an individual life.

Towards the Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease via a Multicriteria Classification Model
The very early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been deeply investigated in numerous studies in the past years. These studies have demonstrated that the pathology usually arises decades before the clinical diagnosis is effectively made, and so a reliable identification of AD in its earliest stages is one of the major challenges clinicians and researchers face nowadays. In the present s...
