   Proposal Description:
   We would like to first study Asians with dementia in the US. We hope to investigate if there are                      differences in causes and disease progression comparing to other                  races due to cultural difference. Therefore, we would like to carry               out time-series analysis using both MDS and UDS. We have previously               developed techniques to handle missing values in other large-scale                data analysis such that we can include subjects with MDS only as well.            NP will offer additional information about the genes and status/stage             of dementia of some subjects at the time of death. We may perform                 studies on subjects with MDS and/or UDS first. Neural images will not             be used in this first step. Thank you very much for helping us to                 navigate the data sets.
