siGGM: Structurally Informed Gaussian Graphical Models

Description Details Author(s) References See Also

Description

siGGM is a collection of functions for estimating functional brain networks which are influenced by anatomical connectivity information. The two primary functions in this package are SCFC and SCFCpath. SCFC will estimate one functional network structure when the user supplies a sparsity tuning parameter. SCFCpath will provide estimates along a grid of sparsity parameters. This package also includes three functions for simulating precision matrices that retain small world, scale free, or Erdos-Renyi network properties. For each, the user can control the density and network size.

The approach relies on lasso (L1) penalty terms to impose sparsity on the network estimates, using either the approach of Friedman, Hastie and Tibshirani (2007) or Hsieh et al. (2011).

The following functions are included:
