Gradient synchronization for multivariate functional data, with application to brain connectivity
多元函数型数据的梯度同步性及脑连接应用
Abstract Quantifying the association between components of multivariate random curves is of general interest and is a ubiquitous and basic problem that can be addressed with functional data analysis. An important application is the problem of assessing functional connectivity based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), where one aims to determine the similarity of fMRI time courses that are recorded on anatomically separated brain regions. In the functional brain…
