on their discrimination ability against the control group <strong>and</strong> the correlation with<br />

measures of cognition. The coefficients of mo<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong>scribing the shape variations<br />

are used as features for disease classification, <strong>and</strong> the evaluation of the subregional<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>ls are based on the performance of the classifiers.<br />

Figure 5.1: The pipeline of local shape <strong>de</strong>scriptor extraction. The shape surfaces<br />

are first centered <strong>and</strong> aligned via Procrustes alignment I. A Hotelling’s T 2<br />

test is performed on each l<strong>and</strong>mark of the aligned surfaces to obtain a significance<br />

mask, which is used to threshold the previously centered shape surfaces.<br />

The selected l<strong>and</strong>marks are aligned by Procrustes alignment II, <strong>and</strong> a Principal<br />

Component <strong>Analysis</strong> (PCA) is performed to extract the shape <strong>de</strong>scriptors.
