In fMRI, there have been many attempts to decrease the noise in an image in order to increase activation, but most lead to blurrier images. An alternative is to develop methods in spatial frequency space, which have unique benefits. This work proposes a Bayesian approach that quantifies available a priori information about measured complex-valued frequency coefficients.

SOCR News & Events: 2024 American Statistical Association, Statistical Methods in Imaging Annual Meeting, Indianapolis

The 2024 American Statistical Association, Statistical Methods in Imaging (SMI) Annual Meeting will feature three SOCR activities:

Spacekime Analytics Tutorial

Tutorial Logistics

Abstract

This time-comlexity and inferential uncertainty (TCIU) Spacekime Analytics tutorial will describe the novel complex-time (kime) representation of repeated measurement longitudinal processes, which underlies advanced space-kime statistical inference and space-kime artificial intelligence (AI) applications. By translating fundamental quantum mechanics principles into statistical inference models of time-varying processes, we generalize the classical 4D spatiotemporal sampling to a 5D space-kime manifold, where the phase of complex-time encodes repeated random drawings at fixed spatiotemporal locations. Many AI applications and statistical inference techniques involving temporal data can be formulated in a Bayesian space-kime analytics framework. We explore alternative strategies for translating time-series observations into kime-surfaces, which are richer, computationally tractable, objects amenable to tensor-based linear modeling and model-free inference. Simulated and observed neuroimaging and macroeconomics data will be used to demonstrate applications of space-kime analytics. As time permits, we may discuss the space-kime analytic duality between theoretical model inference, based on generalized functions (distributions), and experimental data inference, based on replicated finite samples as proxy measures of the underlying probability distributions. Several theoretical, experimental, computational, and data-analytic open problems will be presented.

Special Session: Longitudinal Imaging and Biostatistical Methods

This session will include a blend of mathematical, statistical, and computational experts presenting on recent methodological advances to represent, model, predict, synthesize, and analyze large and heterogeneous spatiotemporal imaging data.

Title: Supervised Modeling of Heterogeneous Networks: Investigating Functional Connectivity Across Various Cognitive Control Tasks
Abstract: We present a novel Bayesian approach to address limitations in current methods for studying the relationship between functional connectivity across cognitive control domains and cognitive phenotypes. Our integrated framework jointly learns heterogeneous networks with vector-valued predictors, overcoming the constraints of treating each network independently in regression analysis. By assuming shared nodes across networks with varying interconnections, our method captures complex relationships while offering uncertainty quantification. Theoretical analysis demonstrates convergence to the true data-generating density, supported by empirical studies showcasing superior performance over existing approaches.
Title: Tensor Regression for Brain Imaging Data
Abstract: Multidimensional array data, also called tensors, are used in neuroimaging and other big data applications. In this paper, we propose a parsimonious Bayesian Tensor linear model for neuroimaging study with brain image as a response and a vector of predictors. Our method provides estimates for the parameters of interest by using an Envelope method. The proposed method characterizes different sources of uncertainty and the inference is performed using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). We demonstrate posterior consistency and develop a computationally efficient MCMC algorithm for posterior computation using Gibbs sampling. The effectiveness of our approach is illustrated through simulation studies and analysis of alcohol addiction's effect on brain connectivity.
Title: Title: Reduced-Rank Tensor-on-Tensor Regression and Tensor-Variate Analysis of Variance
Abstract: Fitting regression models with many multivariate responses and covariates can be challenging, but such responses and covariates sometimes have tensor-variate structure. We extend the classical multivariate regression model to exploit such structure in two ways: first, we impose four types of low-rank tensor formats on the regression coefficients. Second, we model the errors using the tensor-variate normal distribution that imposes a Kronecker separable format on the covariance matrix. We obtain maximum likelihood estimators via block-relaxation algorithms and derive their computational complexity and asymptotic distributions. Our regression framework enables us to formulate tensor-variate analysis of variance (TANOVA) methodology. This methodology, when applied in a one-way TANOVA layout, enables us to identify cerebral regions significantly associated with the interaction of suicide attempters or non-attemptor ideators and positive-, negative- or death-connoting words in a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging study. Another application uses three-way TANOVA on the Labeled Faces in the Wild image dataset to distinguish facial characteristics related to ethnic origin, age group and gender. A R package totr implements the methodology.
Title: Bayesian k-Space Estimation for fMRI
Abstract: In fMRI, as voxel sizes decrease, there is less tissue to produce a signal, resulting in a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio. In fMRI, there have been many attempts to decrease the noise in an image in order to increase activation, but most lead to blurrier images. An alternative is to develop methods in spatial frequency space, which have unique benefits. This work proposes a Bayesian approach that quantifies available a priori information about measured complex-valued frequency coefficients. This prior information is incorporated with observed spatial frequency coefficients, and the spatial frequency coefficients estimated a posteriori. The posterior estimated spatial frequency coefficient are inverse Fourier transform reconstructed into images with reduced noise and increased detection power.


Best Student Paper Award

Congratulations to Yueyang Shen and Yupeng Zhang on Co-Winning (along with another student, James Buenfil/Washington) the annual "Theory and Methods Track" Best Paper Award of the 2024 American Statistical Association (AmStat) - Statistical Methods in Imaging (SMI) Conference.

This paper Statistical foundations of invariance and equivariance in deep artificial neural network learning was recognized as being of remarkable quality by the AmStat/SMI review committee.
