First, we develop probabilistic clustering methods that incorporate pairwise constraints expressing prior beliefs about sample relationships. We introduce Penalized Probabilistic Clustering and a Gaussian process–based approach that more efficiently leverages constraint information. Second, we study detection of cognitive decline from longitudinal clinical data using mixed‑effect models and both generative and discriminative classifiers, including support vector machines with kernels designed for time‑series data. Results demonstrate improved predictive performance, particularly when individual‑specific effects are modeled explicitly. 000000329 540__ $$fCC BY 000000329 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000329 650__ $$aCognitive Dysfunction$$039814 000000329 650__ $$aCluster Analysis$$028809 000000329 650__ $$aMachine Learning$$011449 000000329 650__ $$aSupervised Machine Learning$$011452 000000329 6531_ $$agaussian process 000000329 6531_ $$atime series classification 000000329 6531_ $$atime-series analysis 000000329 6531_ $$amixed-effect model 000000329 6531_ $$agaussian processes 000000329 6531_ $$amixed effects models (statistics) 000000329 691__ $$aOGI School of Science and Engineering$$041365 000000329 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000329 7001_ $$aLu, Zhengdong$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000329 7201_ $$aLeen, Todd$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000329 8564_ $$99d724efa-b251-418f-bfa9-13d00114d9dd$$s4796386$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/329/files/330_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2749ba904ff355f327ac1e9b5d69c1ed5$$31 000000329 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
