Figure 5.2: The significance map of local difference on hippocampal surface<br />

by Hotelling’s T 2 test. For each l<strong>and</strong>mark in the training set, a Hotelling’s T 2<br />

test is carried out between the normal control (NC) group, <strong>and</strong> the Alzheimer’s<br />

disease (AD) group, resulting the map of p-values. Top: superior view; bottom:<br />

inferior view.<br />

We vary the thresholds of the significance level when selecting the l<strong>and</strong>marks at<br />

plotted in Figure 5.4. For the purpose of comparison, conventional PCA on all the<br />

l<strong>and</strong>marks was also performed, using mo<strong>de</strong>ls MR <strong>and</strong> MS.<br />

5.5.3 Disease classification of AD using regional SSM<br />

The first 15 principal components in each of the SSM were used as features for<br />

classification, which accounted for approximately 90% of the total variance in the<br />

training set (Heimann <strong>and</strong> Meinzer, 2009). The rest of the mo<strong>de</strong>s individually
