Upward arrow indicates the amyloid + group having a larger mean value. AUC values (95% confidence interval) are from 100 × 5-cross-validation. AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; DSI, disease state index; APOE, Apolipoprotein E; mNTB, modified neuropsychological test battery; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; MTA, medial temporal lobe atrophy; AD, Alzheimer’s disease.
