We describe a method for classifying subjects based on functional magnetic-resonance (fMR) data, using a method combining a Bayesian-network classifier with inverse-tree structure (BNCIT), and ensemble learning. The central challenge is to generate a classifier from a small sample of high-dimensiona...
