- Abstract
- Connectivity in the brain is the most promising approach to explain human behavior. Here we develop a focused information criterion for graphical models to determine brain connectivity tailored to specific research questions. All efforts are concentrated on high-dimensional settings where the number of nodes in the graph is larger than the number of samples. The graphical models may include autoregressive times series components, they can relate graphs from different subjects, or pool data via random effects. The proposed method selects a graph with a small estimated mean squared error for a user-specified focus. The performance of the proposed method is assessed on simulated datasets and on a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) dataset where often the number of nodes in the estimated graph is equal to, or larger than the number of samples.
