Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

359
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

This study introduces a method to handle missing brain regions in Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) analysis. Expectation-maximization improved individual cognitive phenotyping by enabling full model comparison across subjects.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) quantifies cognitive function via effective connectivity.
  • Subject-specific ambiguities in active brain regions limit DCM's use in individual cognitive phenotyping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a preprocessing method for handling missing brain regions in DCM.
  • To enable comprehensive model comparison across subjects for individual cognitive phenotyping.

Main Methods:

  • Missing brain regions were treated as missing data and time courses were estimated using zero-filling, average-filling, noise-filling, or expectation-maximization.
  • The impact of these estimation methods was evaluated as a preprocessing step for DCM, analyzing effects on model evidence.
  • Simulations and real data (Go/No-Go, Simon tasks) were used to assess performance.

Main Results:

  • Expectation-maximization yielded the highest classification accuracy and model evidence in simulations.
  • This method improved DCM analysis across various dataset sizes and model choices.
  • Real-data application enabled signal computation for missing nodes, allowing model evidence calculation in 100% of subjects.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed preprocessing scheme effectively handles missing brain regions in DCM.
  • This approach enhances the feasibility of using single-subject DCM for individual cognitive phenotyping.
