Abstract
This paper presents the Relevance VoxelMachine (RVoxM), a
Bayesian multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) algorithm that is specifically
designed for making predictions based on image data. In contrast to
generic MVPA algorithms that have often been used for this purpose, the
method is designed to utilize a small number of spatially clustered sets of
voxels that are particularly suited for clinical interpretation. RVoxM automatically
tunes all its free parameters during the training phase, and
offers the additional advantage of producing probabilistic prediction outcomes.
Experiments on age prediction from structural brain MRI indicate
that RVoxM yields biologically meaningful models that provide excellent
predictive accuracy.
