  • 提出新度量'Off-log',让相关矩阵运算可闭式求解,无需复杂优化。
  • 在帕金森和精神疾病数据中,分类准确率优于传统欧氏与黎曼方法。
  • 适合做脑网络分析的科研人员,尤其关注疾病标志物挖掘者。

相关矩阵是功能脑网络的核心描述,但传统分析常忽略相关空间的弯曲几何特性。现有几何方法多缺乏闭式运算或依赖区域顺序,难以扩展。本文提出一种可扩展的几何框架:(i) Off-log度量将相关矩阵映射为对称零对角矩阵,实现距离、弗雷歇均值与线性模型的闭式表达,支持标准统计建模而无需复杂流形优化;(ii) Grassmann子空间判别法通过主成分向量子空间间的夹角距离比较受试者,解决符号与基底模糊问题。二者均可无缝集成至标准机器学习流程中用于推断、回归与分类。在两个临床队列(帕金森病与精神病)及三个衰老相关fMRI数据集上验证,Off-log度量在置换检验中提升敏感性,在分类任务中表现匹配或超越黎曼与欧氏基线。脑龄预测性能相当,黎曼方法在三组中的两组更优。Grassmann方法始终优于欧氏基线,揭示疾病相关网络特征。整体表明,几何感知表示能提升敏感性与预测性能,且易于大规模部署。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Correlation matrices are fundamental summaries of functional brain networks, yet standard analyses often treat entries independently, ignoring the curved geometry of correlation space. Existing geometric methods frequently lack closed-form operations or depend on arbitrary region ordering, limiting scalability. We introduce a scalable geometric framework with two components: (i) the Off-log metric, a smooth transformation mapping correlation matrices to symmetric zero-diagonal matrices. This enables closed-form expressions for distances, Frechet means, and linear models, allowing standard statistical modeling without complex manifold optimization. (ii) Grassmannian subspace discrimination, which compares subjects via principal-angle distances between eigenvector subspaces, resolving inherent sign and basis ambiguities. Both components integrate into standard machine-learning workflows for inference, regression, and classification. Validated across two clinical cohorts (Parkinson's and psychosis) and three ageing fMRI datasets, the Off-log metric increased sensitivity in permutation tests and matched or exceeded Riemannian and Euclidean baselines in classification. Brain-age prediction performance was comparable, with Riemannian metrics excelling in two of three cohorts. The Grassmannian method consistently outperformed Euclidean baselines, highlighting disease-relevant networks. Overall, geometry-aware representations improve sensitivity and predictive performance while remaining straightforward to deploy at scale.
