This research presents a predictive model aimed at estimating the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) based on clinical features collected from a dataset of 50 patients. Important features included evaluations of speech, mobility, and respiratory function. We utilized an XGBoost regression model to forecast scores on the ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R), achieving a training mean squared error (MSE) of 0.
