This study introduces new statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal data, specifically for scalar-on-function regression. These techniques help understand brain imaging and human function over time in complex studies.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Neuroimaging Analysis

Background:

  • Longitudinal studies involve repeated measurements over time.
  • Scalar-on-function regression models relationships between scalar and functional variables.
  • Brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography provides complex functional data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop advanced statistical methods for scalar-on-function regression with longitudinal data.
  • To analyze the association between human function and brain imaging over time.
  • To address challenges like multiple predictors, missing data, and non-Gaussian outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed longitudinal functional principal components regression (PCR).
  • Extended existing functional PCR to accommodate longitudinal and complex data structures.

  • Developed two versions of the new method to differentiate subject-specific trends and visit-specific deviations.

    • Main Results:

    • The new longitudinal functional PCR methods were developed and detailed.
    • These methods were compared against existing techniques.
    • The most effective methods were applied to analyze tractography data.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed longitudinal functional PCR offers a robust approach for complex longitudinal functional data analysis.
    • These methods are suitable for neuroimaging studies investigating the relationship between brain structure and function.
    • The techniques effectively handle multiple functional predictors, longitudinal outcomes, and missing data.
