Distributional Transformation Improves Decoding Accuracy When Predicting Chronological Age From Structural MRI

When predicting a certain subject-level variable (e.g., age in years) from measured biological data (e.g., structural MRI scans), the decoding algorithm does not always preserve the distribution of the variable to predict. In such a situation, distributional transformation (DT), i.e., mapping the pr...
