Overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the SVM classification based on grey and white matter maps and with/without local weights are shown (leave‐one‐out design). Accuracy P value is given when the likelihood of achieving this binominal distribution by chance is <0.05.

NS, not significant; IPS, idiopathic Parkinson syndrome; MSA‐P, multiple systems atrophy (parkinsonian variant); PSP, progressive supranuclear palsy.
