   Proposal Description:
   Abstract: We would like to investigate the patients who convert to other disease status or not using their baseline demographics, family history and health history. Our hypothesis is that Alzheimer???s disease progression may be linked to some specific baseline features. Therefore our experiments are set up to extract various features of all the subjects, and try to find out if any of them are directly related to subject???s disease progression (i.e. from normal -> MCI -> dementia -> AD, or vice versa).
