Abstract
The detection of abnormal intensities in brain images caused by the presence of pathologies is currently under great scrutiny. Selecting appropriate models for pathological data is of critical importance for an unbiased and biologically plausible model fit, which in itself enables a better understanding of the underlying data and biological processes. Besides, it impacts on one’s ability to extract pathologically meaningful imaging biomarkers. With this aim in mind, this work proposes a fully unsupervised hierarchical model selection framework for neuroimaging data which permits the stratification of different types of abnormal image patterns without prior knowledge about the subject’s pathological status.
