Table 2.

Classification results of MCI subtypes: features measured at baseline, wave-2 and longitudinally are used and compared.

Task No. of minority class No. of majority class Method Accuracy (%) Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) AUC
aMCI vs. CN aMCI = 42 CN = 115 Baseline 0.64 0.42 0.71 0.68
Wave-2 0.81* 0.68 0.85 0.74
Longitudinal 0.73 0.53 0.80 0.75

wave-2, 2-year follow-up; MCI, mild cognitive impairment; CN cognitively normal; aMCI, amnestic MCI; naMCI, non-amnestic MCI; AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Significantly different from the method using longitudinal features; results are from t-test (p < 0.05).
