Machine learning methods to predict amyloid positivity using domain scores from cognitive tests

Abstract Amyloid- $$\beta$$ β (A $$\beta$$ β ) is the target in many clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Preclinical AD patients are heterogeneous with regards to different backgrounds and diagnosis. Accurately predicting A $$\beta$$ β status of participants by using machine learning (ML)...
