AbstractThis paper presents an fMRI signal analysis methodology using geometric mean curve decomposition (GMCD) and mutual information-based voxel selection framework. Previously, the fMRI signal analysis has been conducted using empirical mean curve decomposition (EMCD) model and voxel selection on raw fMRI signal. The erstwhile methodology loses frequency component, while the latter methodology suffers from signal redundancy. Both challenges are addressed by our methodology in which the frequency component is considered by decomposing the raw fMRI signal using geometric mean rather than arithmetic mean and the voxels are selected from EMCD signal using GMCD components, rather than raw fMRI signal. The proposed methodologies are adopted for predicting the neural response. Experimentations are conducted in the openly available fMRI data of six subjects, and comparisons are made with existing decomposition models and voxel selection frameworks. Subsequently, the effect of degree of selected voxels and the selection constraints are analyzed. The comparative results and the analysis demonstrate the superiority and the reliability of the proposed methodology.

Abstract We consider the task of discovering functional dependencies in data for target attributes of interest. To solve it, we have to answer two questions: How do we quantify the dependency in a model-agnostic and interpretable way as well as reliably against sample size and dimensionality biases? How can we efficiently discover the exact or $$\alpha $$ α -approximate top-k dependencies? We address the first question by adopting information-theoretic notions. Specifically, we consider the mutual information score, for which we propose a reliable estimator that enables robust optimization in high-dimensional data. To address the second question, we then systematically explore the algorithmic implications of using this measure for optimization. We show the problem is NP-hard and justify worst-case exponential-time as well as heuristic search methods. We propose two bounding functions for the estimator, which we use as pruning criteria in branch-and-bound search to efficiently mine dependencies with approximation guarantees. Empirical evaluation shows that the derived estimator has desirable statistical properties, the bounding functions lead to effective exact and greedy search algorithms, and when combined, qualitative experiments show the framework indeed discovers highly informative dependencies.
