Bookstein's schizophrenia data

Description

Bookstein's schizophrenia data. 13 landmarks in 2 dimensions, 28 individuals. The first 14 individuals are controls. The last fourteen cases were diagnosed with schizophrenia. The landmarks were taken in the near midline from MR images of the brain: (1) splenium, posteriormost point on corpus callosum; (2) genu, anteriormost point on corpus callosum; (3) top of corpus callosum, uppermost point on arch of callosum (all three to an approximate registration on the diameter of the callosum); (4) top of head, a point relaxed from a standard landmark along the apparent margin of the dura; (5) tentorium of cerebellum at dura; (6) top of cerebellum; (7) tip of fourth ventricle; (8) bottom of cerebellum; (9) top of pons, anterior margin; (10) bottom of pons, anterior margin; (11) optic chiasm; (12) frontal pole, extension of a line from landmark 1 through landmark 2 until it intersects the dura; (13) superior colliculus.

Usage

Format

schizophrenia$x : An array of dimension 13 x 2 x 28
