Title
On a Heavy-Tailed Intensity Normalization of the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative Brain Database.
Abstract
In this work, we normalize the intensity of 40 FP-CIT SPECT images from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative assuming that the histogram of intensity values follows an alpha-stable distribution. Then, we study the normalized images. The interclass separation of the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain images and the healthy control (HC) are calculated by means of the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon U-test. The intensity transformed images present higher inter-class separation according to the estimation of the U-test.
