Cross-validation: mean linear discriminant function coefficients (SD) using ERP measures for classifying MCI individuals into Progress to AD and Stable groups. Variable names: 3-digit numbers indicate latency (ms) of the ERP component waveform maxima; Rel or Irr indicate relevant or irrelevant stimulus conditions that evoked the ERP.
| Variable | Progress | Stable |
|---|---|---|
| (n=15) | (n=28) | |
| Constant | −1.54(0.31) | −1.25(0.09) |
| C185_Rel | 1.46(0.15) | −0.36 (0.07) |
| C540_Rel | 1.49(0.19) | −1.49(0.20) |
| C415_Rel | −1.62(0.23) | 1.84(0.32) |
| C415_Irr | −0.39(0.31) | −3.34(0.27) |
| C250_Irr | 2.09 (0.70) | −3.05 (0.45) |
| C250_Rel | −2.92 (0.84) | 1.88(0.39) |
| C325_Irr | −1.25(0.28) | 1.04(0.18) |
| C540_Irr | 0.04 (0.24) | 0.90(0.16) |
Note. Means and standard deviations of the coefficients were calculated from the cross-validation where each subject was omitted from creating the discriminant functions. Thus, 43 sets of discriminant coefficients were the data underlying these numbers.
