摘要:

调查两组变量之间的关系有助于理解它们的相互作用,可以用典型相关分析(CCA)来完成。然而,两组之间的相关性有时取决于第三组协变量,通常与受试者相关,如年龄,性别或其他临床指标。在这种情况下,将CCA应用于整个群体不是最佳的,并且在给定协变量的情况下估计条件CCA的方法可能是有用的。我们提出了一种新的方法,称为随机森林与典型相关分析(RFCCA),以估计两组变量之间的条件典型相关给定的主题相关的协变量。森林中的各个树是用专门设计的分裂规则构建的,该规则用于划分数据,以最大化子节点之间的典型相关异质性。我们还提出了一个显着性检验,以检测两组变量之间的关系的协变量的整体效果。所提出的方法和全球显着性测试的性能进行评估,通过模拟研究表明,它提供了准确的典型相关估计和良好控制的类型1错误。我们还展示了所提出的方法与EEG数据的应用。

英文摘要:

Investigating the relationships between two sets of variables helps to understand their interactions and can be done with canonical correlation analysis (CCA). However, the correlation between the two sets can sometimes depend on a third set of covariates, often subject-related ones such as age, gender, or other clinical measures. In this case, applying CCA to the whole population is not optimal and methods to estimate conditional CCA, given the covariates, can be useful. We propose a new method called Random Forest with Canonical Correlation Analysis (RFCCA) to estimate the conditional canonical correlations between two sets of variables given subject-related covariates. The individual trees in the forest are built with a splitting rule specifically designed to partition the data to maximize the canonical correlation heterogeneity between child nodes. We also propose a significance test to detect the global effect of the covariates on the relationship between two sets of variables. The performance of the proposed method and the global significance test is evaluated through simulation studies that show it provides accurate canonical correlation estimations and well-controlled Type-1 error. We also show an application of the proposed method with EEG data.
