A procedure to detect irregular signal responses to pupil light reflex (PLR) was developed to detect Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) using a functional data analysis (FDA) technique and classification with an Elastic Net. In considering the differences in features of PLRs between AD and normal control (NC) participants, signals of summations and differentials between experimental conditions were analysed. The coefficient vectors for B-spline basis functions were introduced, and the number of basis was controlled for an optimised model. Model trained data was created using a data extension technique in order to enhance the number of participant observations. In the results, the required number of basis functions for differential signals is larger than the number for the their summation signals, and the features of differential signals contribute to classification performance.
