ADNI progression summaries using the ADNIMERGE R package

Description

This package vignette demonstrates how to use the ADNIMERGE package to generate progression summaries and plots with R and knitr.

Report generated from Progresssion.Rmd

This report contains estimates of the ADNI conversion rates using a nonparametric multistate modeling approach (Nicole Ferguson, Somnath Datta, Guy Brock (2012). msSurv: An R Package for Nonparametric Estimation of Multistate Models. Journal of Statistical Software, 50(14), 1-24. http://www.jstatsoft.org/v50/i14/).

This report does not consider transition to EMCI at any followup visits. The label LMCI, when applied at followup visits, actually refer to any MCI (EMCI or LMCI).

Only subjects with at least one followup Diagnostic Summary are included in this report.
