Abstract
En 中文
There remains an open question about the usefulness and the interpretation of machine learning (ML) approaches for discrimination of spatial patterns of brain images between samples or activation states. In the last few decades, these approaches have limited their operation to feature extraction and linear classification tasks for between-group inference. In this context, statistical inference is assessed by ran-domly permuting image labels or by the use of random effect models that consider between-subject vari-ability. These multivariate ML-based statistical pipelines, whilst potentially more effective for detecting activations than hypotheses-driven methods, have lost their mathematical elegance, ease of interpreta-tion, and spatial localization of the ubiquitous General linear Model (GLM). Recently, the estimation of the conventional GLM parameters has been demonstrated to be connected to an univariate classification task when the design matrix in the GLM is expressed as a binary indicator matrix. In this paper we explore the complete connection between the univariate GLM and ML-based regressions. To this purpose we derive a refined statistical test with the GLM based on the parameters obtained by a linear Support Vector Regression (SVR) in the inverse problem (SVR-iGLM). Subsequently, random field theory (RFT) is employed for assessing statistical significance following a conventional GLM benchmark. Experimental results demonstrate how parameter estimations derived from each model (mainly GLM and SVR) result in different experimental design estimates that are significantly related to the predefined functional task. Moreover, using real data from a multisite initiative the proposed ML-based inference demonstrates sta-tistical power and the control of false positives, outperforming the regular GLM.
