*Introduction*: Carrying out a randomized controlled trial to estimate
the causal effects of regional brain atrophy due to Alzheimer's
disease (AD) is impossible. Instead, we must estimate causal effects
from observational data. However, this …
Studying the relationship between neuroanatomy and cognitive decline due to
Alzheimer's has been a major research focus in the last decade. However, to
infer cause-effect relationships rather than simple associations from
observational data, we need …
The desire to train complex machine learning algorithms and to
increase the statistical power in association studies drives
neuroimaging research to use ever-larger datasets. The most obvious
way to increase sample size is by pooling scans from …
Neuroimaging datasets keep growing in size to address increasingly complex
medical questions. However, even the largest datasets today alone are too
small for training complex machine learning models. A potential solution is
to increase sample size …
