Influences of the various parameters on BrainAGE estimation accuracy. (1) The accuracy of age estimation essentially depends on the number of subjects used for training the age estimation model (blue lines: full training sample; green lines: ½ training sample; red lines: ¼ training sample). (2) The method for preprocessing the T1-weighted MRI images also showed a strong influence on the accuracy of age estimation. (3) Data reduction via principal component analysis (PCA) only had a moderate effect on the mean absolute error (MAE). AF, affine registration; NL, non-linear registration; R4/8, re-sampling to spatial resolution of 4/8 mm; S4/8, smoothing with FWHM smoothing kernel of 4/8 mm.
