Description

This function can calculate strength of the connectivity among multiple brain regions via kernel canonical correlation analysis. Permutaiton test is employed to assess the statistical significance. The p-values are adjusted for multiple testing.

permkCCA_multipleRegion(imageDat, region, resolution = "2mm",
  saveName = "None", kernel = "rbfdot", regionCode = "", niiFile2 = "",
  imgPath = getwd(), datPath = getwd(), parallel = FALSE, loc = "local",
  perm = 50, saveData = "None")

Arguments

imageDat

there are two options for this argument: (1)(vectors of) imaging data (with extension .nii or .nii.gz). You do not need to add extension in your argument, simply type in the name of file is enough. (2) the processed image data produced by "nii2RData" function. No matter which option you choose, the result will be the same (as long as you use the same dataset). When you would like to read and save nii data first and run kcca test later, you can first save output of "nii2RData" and, in the future, choose option (2) to run kcca in order to save time (avoid reading same dataset multiple times).

region

user-specified multiple brain regions (as vector, for example, c(1,2,30)).

resolution

the resolution of your region data. It can take "2mm" as default. If user would like to use 3mm resolution, type in "3mm".

saveName

whether to save processed imaging data. If you do not have enough space or do not want to use space to store processed data, just type in "None" (default); otherwise you need to specify name in this argument. For example, saveName="myName.RData".

kernel

the kernel function used in training and predicting. The default kernel is the radial basis kernel function "Gaussian" (rbfdot). Use "?kernlab::kcca" to find more available kernels.

regionCode

the region code provided by user or default. It should have 3 columns with index, region code and region name.

niiFile2

the nii region file you would like to use. It has default nii file and can be left as blank.

imgPath

the directory where your nii file(s) is (are) located. It chooses your current working directory as default.

datPath

the directory where you would like to store .RData file(s). It chooses your current working directory as default.

parallel

whether to use parallel computing. Type FALSE as not using parallel and TRUE as using parallel. Parallel is not recommended in local computer as it may slow down your system. Use parallel in cluster is preferred

loc

this argument can accept argument "local" or "cluster". if you choose to use parallel computing, please specify whether you run your code in your local computer or cluster. If you did not choose parallel computing, then "local" or "clutser" makes no difference.

perm

number of permutation. Default time is 50.

saveData

whether to save output as R data. Type "None" as not save output. Type name of file if you would like to save. For example, "output_two.RData".

Details

(1) Kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA) can explore the nonlinear relationship between two variables. It transformed sample vectors into the Hilbert space and maximize correlation coefficient by solving quadratically regularized Lagrangean function. Refer to Kang's paper for more details: Kang J, Bowman FD, Mayberg H, Liu H (2016). "A depression network of functionallyconnected regions discovered via multi-attribute canonical correlation graphs."NeuroImage,141, 431-441. (2) Use rgl.snapshot() function if you would like to save plot but forgot to use TRUE in screenShot argument.

Value

(lists of) list of brain regions, p-value, region type ("two" or "multiple"), and sregion name.
