Differential diagnosis of central campimetric lesions by means of parametric and nonparametric discriminant analysis

Campimetry is a daily clinical examination used for diagnosis of neuro-ophthalmological disorders. An Automatic Campimeter based on a low-cost personal computer was designed and realized. Data from more than 1000 patients examined with our campimeter was analysed. Specific indexes of pathology were tried out. Multivariate Statistical tools were applied to asses the parameter´s skill in pathology recognition. Two different approachs were followed to this aim: Parametric and Nonparametric discriminant analysis.
