Classification of ADNI PET images via regularized 3D functional data analysis
Abstract
We propose a penalized Haar wavelet approach for the classification of three-dimensional (3D) brain images in the framework of functional data analysis, which treats each entire 3D brain image as a single functional input, thus automatically takes into account the spatial correlations of voxel-level imaging measures. We validate the proposed approach through extensive simulations and compare its classification performance with other commonly used machine learning methods, which show that the...
