Description

Network-level analysis (connectivity) of various features, esp. if it can be individualized for a single-subject, is proving to be quite a valuable tool in many applications. This package extracts single-subject (individualized, or intrinsic) networks (connectivity) from node-wise data by computing the edge weights based on histogram distance between the distributions of values within each node. Individual nodes could be an region of interest (ROI) or a patch or a cube, or any other unit of relevance in your application. This is a great way to take advantage of the full distribution of values available within each node, relative to the simpler use of averages.

Notes

Software is beta, and needs to be tested in the wild by the community.
