Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recently, structured sparse canonical correlation analysis (SCCA) has received increased attention in brain imaging genetics studies. It can identify bi-multivariate imaging genetic associations as well as select relevant features with desired structure information. These SCCA methods either use the fused lasso regularizer to induce the smoothness between ordered features, or use the signed pairwise difference which is dependent on the estimated sign of sample correlation. Besides, several other structured SCCA models use the group lasso or graph fused lasso to encourage group structure, but they require the structure/group information provided in advance which sometimes is not available. RESULTS: We propose a new structured SCCA model, which employs the graph OSCAR (GOSCAR) regularizer to encourage those highly correlated features to have similar or equal canonical weights. Our GOSCAR based SCCA has two advantages: 1) It does not require to pre-define the sign of the sample correlation, and thus could reduce the estimation bias. 2) It could pull those highly correlated features together no matter whether they are positively or negatively correlated. We evaluate our method using both synthetic data and real data. Using the 191 ROI measurements of amyloid imaging data, and 58 genetic markers within the APOE gene, our method identifies a strong association between APOE SNP rs429358 and the amyloid burden measure in the frontal region. In addition, the estimated canonical weights present a clear pattern which is preferable for further investigation. CONCLUSIONS: Our proposed method shows better or comparable performance on the synthetic data in terms of the estimated correlations and canonical loadings. It has successfully identified an important association between an Alzheimer's disease risk SNP rs429358 and the amyloid burden measure in the frontal region.

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
