Predicting brain age with deep learning from raw imaging data results in a reliable and heritable biomarker [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Machine learning analysis of neuroimaging data can accurately predict chronological age in healthy people and deviations from healthy brain ageing have been associated with cognitive impairment and disease. Here we sought to further establish the credentials of "brain-predicted age" as a biomarker of individual differences in the brain ageing process ...

Earnings Mobility and Origin Dependence: What can twins say together with nonparametric econometrics? [PDF]
This study focuses on earnings immobility and its relation to the originin terms of both the social background and the initial position in the earnings distribution. Twin data is used to reveal the importance for the common background for immobility.
