Abstract
Both genetic variants and brain region abnormalities are recognized to play a role in cognitive decline. In this project, we explore the relationship between genome-wide variation and region-specific rates of decline in brain structure, as measured by magnetic resonanceimaging. The correspondence between rates of decline in brain regions and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is investigated using data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 1 (ADNI-1), a study of Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment. In these data, the number of SNP and imaging biomarkers greatly exceeds the number of study subjects. To explore these data, we therefore look to modern multivariate statistical techniques that find sparse linear combinations of the two datasets having maximum correlation. These methods are particularly appealing because they greatly reduce the dimensions of the data, providing a low-dimensional representation of the data to explore. Regularization of the correlation structure through a “sparse” singular value decomposition makes multivariate analysis on a large set of biomarkers possible. Using sparse linear combinations of the two datasets also incorporates variable selection into the analysis, providing insight into which genetic variants are associated with cognitive decline. Resampling techniques are used to examine the validity of the results by exploring their reproducibility in independent test sets, and by assessing the stability of the variable selection.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
