Multivariate Analyses with Two-Step Dimension Reduction for an Association Study Between ¹¹C-Pittsburgh Compound B and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Alzheimer’s Disease... by Atsushi Kawaguchi, Fumio Yamashita

“…To study the relationship between Aβ deposition and brain structure, as determined using ¹¹C-Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), respectively, we developed a regression model with PiB and MRI data as the predictor and response variables, respectively, and proposed a regression method for studying the association between them based on a supervised sparse multivariate analysis with dimension reduction based on a composite paired basis function. By applying this method to imaging data of 61 patients with AD (age: 55–85), the first component showed the strongest correlation with the composite score, owing to the supervised feature. …”
