This development is motivated by identifying\u00a0imaging biomarkers that could potentially aid detection, diagnosis, assessment of prognosis,\u00a0prediction of response to treatment, and monitoring of disease status, among many others.<\/p>\n<h4>Questions<\/h4>\n<p>1. Can we correctly integrate the spatial information in the principal component analysis?<\/p>\n<p>2. Can we reduce the dimension of the big data and detect important regions among millions of voxels?<\/p>\n<h4>Methods<\/h4>\n<p>The MWPCR can be regarded as a novel integration of principal components analysis (PCA), kernel methods, and regression models. In MWPCR, we introduce various weight matrices to prewhitten high dimensional feature vectors, perform matrix decomposition for both dimension reduction and feature extraction, and build a prediction model by using the extracted features. Examples of such weight matrices include an importance score weight matrix for the selection of individual features at each location and a spatial weight matrix for the incorporation of the spatial pattern of feature vectors. We integrate the importance score weights with the spatial weights in order to recover the low dimensional structure of high dimensional features. Our package can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nitrc.org\/projects\/mwpcr\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.nitrc.org\/projects\/mwpcr\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Findings<\/h4>\n<p>Our models can clearly identify the key important regions in the noisy images. When applied in both classification and regression problems, our method outperforms other &#8220;off-the-shelf&#8221; high dimensional classification or regression methods. The following is the 4 leading PC loadings of the ADNI PET data in the AD v.s. NC classification problem.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" style=\"width: 704px;height: 528px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/bigs2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/822\/2018\/09\/project_MWPCR_PCs.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are able to identify several key regions of interest, such as &#8220;right lateral ventricle&#8221;, &#8220;right middle temporal gyrus&#8221;, &#8220;right fornix&#8221;, and &#8221; right middle frontal gyrus&#8221;. For instance, the fornix is on the medial aspects of the cerebral hemispheres connecting the medial temporal lobes to the hypothalamus. Since the fornix serves a vital role in memory functions, it has become the subject of recent research emphasis in Alzheimer&#8217;s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment(MCI). Also the classification performance is improved a lot. See the ROC curves plot below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" style=\"width: 704px;height: 528px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/bigs2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/822\/2018\/09\/project_MWPCR_ROC.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>References<\/h4>\n<p>1.
