Mixture prior for sparse signals with dependent covariance structure.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we propose an estimation method for normal mean problem that can have unknown sparsity as well as correlations in the signals. Our proposed method first decomposes arbitrary dependent covariance matrix of the observed signals into two parts: common dependence and weakly dependent error terms. By subtracting common dependence, the correlations among the signals are significantly weakened. It is practical for doing this because of the existence of sparsity. Then the sparsity is estimated using an empirical Bayesian method based on the likelihood of the signals with the common dependence removed. Using simulated examples that have moderate to high degrees of sparsity and different dependent structures in the signals, we demonstrate that the performance of our proposed algorithm is favorable compared to the existing method which assumes the signals are independent identically distributed. Furthermore, our approach is applied on the widely used "Hapmap" gene expressions data, and our results are consistent with the findings in other studies.

Project description:In neurodegenerative disorders, a clearer understanding of the underlying aberrant networks facilitates the search for effective therapeutic targets and potential cures. [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging data of brain metabolism reflects the distribution of glucose consumption known to be directly related to neural activity. In FDG PET resting-state metabolic data, characteristic disease-related patterns have been identified in group analysis of various neurodegenerative conditions using principal component analysis of multivariate spatial covariance. Notably, among several parkinsonian syndromes, the identified Parkinson's disease-related pattern (PDRP) has been repeatedly validated as an imaging biomarker of PD in independent groups worldwide. Although the primary nodal associations of this network are known, its connectivity is not fully understood. Here, we describe a novel approach to elucidate functional principal component (PC) network connections by performing graph theoretical sparse network derivation directly within the disease relevant PC partition layer of the whole brain data rather than by searching for associations retrospectively in whole brain sparse representations. Using sparse inverse covariance estimation of each overlapping PC partition layer separately, a single coherent network is detected for each layer in contrast to more spatially modular segmentation in whole brain data analysis. Using this approach, the major nodal hubs of the PD disease network are identified and their characteristic functional pathways are clearly distinguished within the basal ganglia, midbrain and parietal areas. Network associations are further clarified using Laplacian spectral analysis of the adjacency matrices. In addition, the innate discriminative capacity of the eigenvector centrality of the graph derived networks in differentiating PD versus healthy external data provides evidence of their validity.
