  1. (A) The best results are shown in bold. (B) The training/validation/test split is the same as for (A).
  2. (C) The cross validation was performed using 10-fold cross validation. The SBM feature training/test split was 1056/264, the VBM feature training/test split was 1438/356, and the SM feature training/test split was 1469/346
  3. (A) The performance of the CNNs that were trained using T1-weighted images, Jacobian maps, GM and WM segmented images. Training set (\(N=1171\)), validation set (\(N=298\)), and test set (\(N=346\)). (B) The performance when combining CNN predictions. (C) The results of the best methods trained on SBM, VBM and similarity matrix features
