Fused lasso regression for identifying differential correlations in brain connectome graphs

초록

In this paper, we propose a procedure to find differential edges between 2 graphs from high-dimensional data. We estimate 2 matrices of partial correlations and their differences by solving a penalized regression problem. We assume sparsity only on differences between 2 graphs, not graphs themselves. Thus, we impose an (2) penalty on partial correlations and an (1) penalty on their differences in the penalized regression problem. We apply the proposed procedure in finding differential functional connectivity between healthy individuals and Alzheimer's disease patients.
