Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to present a classification algorithm and its application to an initial set of 156 patients afflicted with dementia syndromes and classified by clinicians in the categories of probable Alzheimer, possible Alzheimer or vascular dementia pathologies. It will be shown that the diagnoses of dementia patients by this method is very accurate, and that the classification criteria can be transformed into suitable clinical factors, which can then be interpreted by clinicians. This formal implementation suggests that recent research on the general diagnosis of dementia can be confirmed.
