M., Svensson, J., Plaven-Sigray, P. Abstract: Background: Brain age prediction algorithms using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aim to assess the biological age of the human brain. The difference between a person's chronological age and the estimated brain age is thought to reflect deviations from a normal aging trajectory, indicating a slower, or accelerated, biological aging process. Several pre-trained software packages for predicting brain age are publicly available. In this study we perform a head-to-head comparison of such packages with respect to 1) predictive accuracy, 2) test-retest reliability, and 3) the ability to track age progression over time. Methods: We evaluated the five brain age prediction packages: brainageR, DeepBrainNet, brainage, ENIGMA, and pyment. The accuracy and test-retest reliability were assessed on MRI data from 372 healthy people, aged between 18.4 and 86.2 years (mean 38.7 +/- 17.5 years). Results: All packages showed significant correlations between predicted brain age and chronological age (r = 0.66 to 0.97, p less than 0.001), with pyment displaying the strongest correlation. The mean absolute error was between 3.56 (pyment) and 9.54 years (ENIGMA). brainageR and pyment were superior in terms of reliability (ICC values between 0.94 - 0.98), as well as predicting age progression over a longer time span. Conclusion: Of the five packages, pyment and brainageR consistently showed the highest accuracy and test-retest reliability. Copy rights belong to original authors.

On today's show we're taking your letters, but first, we're talking to Hannah Rounds, our favorite tax software reviewer, who gives us the lowdown on the good, bad and ugly of tax software. She'll tell us which brands to avoid, which are her favorites, and which packages are surprising. Whether you're willing to pay for your tax support or are looking for the best software package for free, we'll dive into all of the brands to help make your filing season easier. We're happy that the government shutdown is over for now, but what if it happens again in three weeks? We'll talk to Lacey Langford from the Mil Money Movement podcast about the fallout from the shutdown. If people are trying to duct tape together their financial picture until the receive their first paycheck after the shutdown, what do they do? We'll discuss resources, advice, what NOT to do, and more. Later on, we'll throw out the Haven Life Line to Pete, who wants to know if he should invest some of his extra cash into a short-term bond fund. He has a large cash reserve, and with interest rates being very low on savings accounts, he wonders whether it'd be worth the time to spike up the interest rate possibilities a little. And don't worry... we'll still take some time for Doug's trivia. Thanks to the Murder Book Podcast for supporting StackingBenjamins.

The problem of estimating parameters of distributions by an incomplete data set is theoretically considered, but in practice the implementation of the developed methods in commercial statistical software packages varies from program to program. None of the examined software offers all possible methods. In some programs the user has no choice concerning the use of a method, or no methods at all are available. However, the most popular programs have not always the largest variety of methods. Hence some work is still waiting for the producer of statistical software.
