This table lists the distribution (count or mean ± standard deviation) of the demographic features in the three classes (control, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder). Because most classification techniques are restricted to numerical features only, we reencode each nominal feature as a numeric feature. The numerical encoding is listed between parentheses after each nominal feature value.
