This package provides a resource for modeling and analyzing brain growth patterns. This is designed to reproduce the results of the associated paper, which is currently under review. You can reproduce the results of the paper by executing the script 'bin/run.sh'. This includes steps for:
- Creating a brain morphometric database
- Estimating statiscal models relating age to imaging metrics
- Plotting models for individual brain areas and imaging metrics
- Estimating percentiles scores for individual subjects
Requirements:
- R 3.3.3 or later
- GAMLSS, available by running install.packages("gamlss")
- ggplot, available by running install.packages("ggplot2")
- digest, available by running install.packages("digest")
