Abstract

Volumetric changes in the hippocampus have been shown to precede clinical symptom onset during the preclinical phase of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this paper, we propose a novel statistical method for estimating the change point of the hippocampus, as extracted from structural magnetic resonance imaging scans, in relation to clinical symptom onset. We used a linear mixed-effect statistical model. Maximum likelihood estimation was employed as the strategy that was applied in two phases.
