covSTATIS: a multi-table technique for network neuroscience

Quantitative Methods 2024-04-16 v2

Abstract

Similarity analyses between multiple correlation or covariance tables constitute the cornerstone of network neuroscience. Here, we introduce covSTATIS, a versatile, linear, unsupervised multi-table method designed to identify structured patterns in multi-table data, and allow for the simultaneous extraction and interpretation of both individual and group-level features. With covSTATIS, multiple similarity tables can now be easily integrated, without requiring a priori data simplification, complex black-box implementations, user-dependent specifications, or supervised frameworks. Applications of covSTATIS, a tutorial with Open Data and source code are provided. CovSTATIS offers a promising avenue for advancing the theoretical and analytic landscape of network neuroscience.
