SIGNATURE
:
Download composite measurements labeled as 'signatures' of Alzheimer's Disease
Available subcommands:
`jack`: based on FreeSurfer's cortical thickness and local cortical gray matter volumes
`dickerson`: based on Dickerson's cortical signatures (see references below)
Usage:
bx signature <subcommand> <resource_id>
Jack's AD signature is calculated in two versions,
weighted and not weighted. Weighted means that the formula has been
applied by normalizing each ROI value by local surface area (as explained
in the papers).
Not-weighted versions correspond to mean values across regions.
Examples:
`bx signature jack` will return Jack's signature, based on thickness and grayvol values.
`bx signature dickerson` will return AD and aging signatures, based only on
thickness values as they do not have any "grayvol" version.
