A double-multivariate approach differentiated children with histories of concussion based on complex symptom/structure combinations. Expression of connectivity latent factors predicted adverse psychiatric outcomes in unseen data.
Illustration of 3 modes of covariance, displaying the covariance explained (bar graph), the loading profile of the symptom latent factor (polar bar graph), a scatter plot showing the projection of symptom and connectivity data onto their respective latent spaces, and bar graphs showing scaled symptoms for 6 illustrative cases (2 per graph). A. Mode 1 from PLSc on PC1 features. B. Mode 3 from PLSc on PC2 features. C. Mode 4 from PLSc on PC2 features.
Histogram illustrating correlation coefficients for all possible single-tract/single-symptom relationships (blue), and between corresponding connectivity and symptom latent factors (pink) (referred to as “multi-tract/multi-symptom relationships”).
