A SPARSE REDUCED RANK FRAMEWORK FOR GROUP ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING DATA.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In spatial-temporal neuroimaging studies, there is an evolving literature on the analysis of functional imaging data in order to learn the intrinsic functional connectivity patterns among different brain regions. However, there are only few efficient approaches for integrating functional connectivity pattern across subjects, while accounting for spatial-temporal functional variation across multiple groups of subjects. The objective of this paper is to develop a new sparse reduced rank (SRR) modeling framework for carrying out functional connectivity analysis across multiple groups of subjects in the frequency domain. Our new framework not only can extract both frequency and spatial factors across subjects, but also imposes sparse constraints on the frequency factors. It thus leads to the identification of important frequencies with high power spectra. In addition, we propose two novel adaptive criteria for automatic selection of sparsity level and model rank. Using simulated data, we demonstrate that SRR outperforms several existing methods. Finally, we apply SRR to detect group differences between controls and two subtypes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients, through analyzing the ADHD-200 data.
