A network is a map of interactions, which contributes to investigating the connectivity of components or links between sub-units. We exploited the potential of using networks as features for discriminating SCZ from healthy controls. We first constructed a single network from each type of data. Then we built four fused networks by the network fusion method: three fused networks for each combination of two types of data and one fused network for all three data types. Based on the local consistency of network, we can predict the group of the unlabeled SCZ subjects. The group prediction method was applied to test the power of network-based features and the performance was evaluated by a 10-fold cross validation. The results show that the prediction accuracy is the highest when applying our prediction method to the fused network derived from three data types among 7 tested networks. As a conclusion, integrative approaches that can comprehensively utilize multiple types of data are more useful for diagnosis and prediction.<br/> </p><p>PMID: 28268598 [PubMed - in process]</p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Wed, 06 May 2026 11:24:42 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
