Figure Lengend Snippet: Scatterplot of R against f IC for all tumor voxels ( n = 11,519) and subjects (A; left side). The black contours show the 2D Gaussian mixture model (GMM) fit with each voxel data point color‐coded based on the probability of belonging to each component (blue, green, and red). Contours of the three individual GMM components are shown as smaller plots (right side). R and f IC maps of tumor ROIs were used to generate color‐coded posterior probability maps of each GMM component (B; Subject 6 shown as example).
Article Snippet: A 2D Gaussian mixture model (GMM) was then fitted to the f IC and R values of all tumor voxels using an algorithm based on the MATLAB function fitgmdist with 20 random initializations to avoid local optima and a regularization value of 3.5 × 10 −3 to avoid overfitting ( mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/71496‐identification‐of‐subregions‐in‐parameter‐maps‐by‐gmm ) [ ].
