Naive Bayes Naive Bayes is a supervised, probabilistic classification method for discrete classes that makes some strong assumptions about the data, but works pretty well.  If you think back to regression,  regression, we were trying to predict p(y x), and this is... Read more

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Diffusion Tensor Imaging looks at white matter integrity.  It is a MRI based method that uses diffusion properties of water molecules to construct white matter fibers (anatomical connections) between brain regions.  There are many metrics of white matter tracts you...

K-Means Clustering K-Means clustering is a bread and butter method of unsupervised clustering in machine learning, and I love it because it’s so intuiitive, and possibly because I learned about it in one of my favorite classes at Stanford, BMI 214 with... Read more

Logistic Regression Logistic Regression is a supervised learning method for predicting a discrete outcome (y) based on one or more features (x).  If you remember in linear regression we were trying to predict a continuous variable, and in logistic regression we are... Read more
