where is the group difference for parameter p , and and are the averages for the ASD and TD groups. TI is the sumof the index values for each parameter and is calculated by the following: 7 Autism classified by MRI Figure 3: The coronal T1-weighted image of a representative participant using labels for the subcortical regions of interest (ROIs). Gray matter has red outline and white matter blue. The statistical model utilized to analyze the data was the sign function for the reason of having a coherent group directionality (i.e., positive for ASD and negative for TD). The effect size was squared (as it would return an absolute value) and with a multi- parameter dataset the exponent of the effect size could increase the diagnostic accuracy. The sign function is shown below:
