Model selection to achieve reproducible associations between resting state EEG features and autism.

ABSTRACT: A concern in the field of autism electroencephalography (EEG) biomarker discovery is their lack of reproducibility. In the present study, we considered the problem of learning reproducible associations between multiple features of resting state (RS) neural activity and autism, using EEG data collected during a RS paradigm from 36 to 96 month-old children diagnosed with autism (N = 224) and neurotypical children (N = 69). Specifically, EEG spectral power and functional connectivity features were used as inputs to a regularized generalized linear model trained to predict diagnostic group (autism versus neurotypical). To evaluate our model, we proposed a procedure that quantified both the predictive generalization and reproducibility of learned associations produced by the model. When priorit
