Project Description
Objective
- Evaluate the ability of regression methods utilizing distribution-valued measurements to differentiate between healthy controls and patients with pathology.
Approach, Plan
- Model probability distributions along DTI fiber tracts instead of scalar summary measurements to create a tract profile (e.g. cross-sectional averages).
- Our spatiotemporal modeling method utilizes these distribution-valued data to create growth trajectories such that the complete probability distribution is estimated continuously in space and time.
- Using these methods, we can estimate a spatiotemporal growth trajectory for the healthy infant population. We then compare our method's ability to detect clinical differences in infants with Krabbe's disease in reference to a control population.
Progress
- We found that our method had better sensitivity towards finding differences in growth trajectories.
- We could find statistically significant differences in scenarios where the differences were small enough to be missed by conventional methods.
