R2, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) for the age prediction models within the training sample (the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience, Cam-CAN), and when applied to the test sample (MTBI patients). For the model validation within the training sample, means and standard deviations are provided based on 5-fold cross validations with 100 repetitions. NestedCV indicates the values based on nested cross-validation for hyperparameter optimization. For the test sample, R2, RMSE, and MAE are provided before and after age-bias correction (described in Section 2.5).
