Performing Sparse Regularization and Dimension Reduction Simultaneously in Multimodal Data Fusion.

ABSTRACT: Collecting multiple modalities of neuroimaging data on the same subject is increasingly becoming the norm in clinical practice and research. Fusing multiple modalities to find related patterns is a challenge in neuroimaging analysis. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is commonly used as a symmetric data fusion technique to find related patterns among multiple modalities. In CCA-based data fusion, principal component analysis (PCA) is frequently applied as a preprocessing step to reduce data dimension followed by CCA on dimension-reduced data. PCA, however, does not differentiate between informative voxels from non-informative voxels in the dimension reduction step. Sparse PCA (sPCA) extends traditional PCA by adding sparse regularization that assigns zero weights to non-informative voxels. In this study, sPCA is incorporated into CCA-based fusion analysis and applied on neuroimaging data. A cross-validation method is developed and validated to optimize the parameters in sPCA. Different simulations are carried out to evaluate the improvement by introducing sparsity constraint to PCA. Four fusion methods including sPCA+CCA, PCA+CCA, parallel ICA and sparse CCA were applied on structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging data of mild cognitive impairment subjects and normal controls. Our results indicate that sPCA significantly can reduce the impact of non-informative voxels and lead to improved statistical power in uncovering disease-related patterns by a fusion analysis.

Project description:Variable selection and penalized regression models in high-dimension settings have become an increasingly important topic in many disciplines. For instance, omics data are generated in biomedical researches that may be associated with survival of patients and suggest insights into disease dynamics to identify patients with worse prognosis and to improve the therapy. Analysis of high-dimensional time-to-event data in the presence of competing risks requires special modeling techniques. So far, some attempts have been made to variable selection in low- and high-dimension competing risk setting using partial likelihood-based procedures. In this paper, a weighted likelihood-based penalized approach is extended for direct variable selection under the subdistribution hazards model for high-dimensional competing risk data. The proposed method which considers a larger class of semiparametric regression models for the subdistribution allows for taking into account time-varying effects and is of particular importance, because the proportional hazards assumption may not be valid in general, especially in the high-dimension setting. Also, this model relaxes from the constraint of the ability to simultaneously model multiple cumulative incidence functions using the Fine and Gray approach. The performance/effectiveness of several penalties including minimax concave penalty (MCP); adaptive LASSO and smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) as well as their L2 counterparts were investigated through simulation studies in terms of sensitivity/specificity. The results revealed that sensitivity of all penalties were comparable, but the MCP and MCP-L2 penalties outperformed the other methods in term of selecting less noninformative variables. The practical use of the model was investigated through the analysis of genomic competing risk data obtained from patients with bladder cancer and six genes of CDC20, NCF2, SMARCAD1, RTN4, ETFDH, and SON were identified using all the methods and were significantly correlated with the subdistribution.
