Title
Parametric distributions for assessing significance in modular partitions of brain networks
Abstract
Brain networks are often explored with graph theoretical approaches, and community structures identified using modularity-based partitions. Despite the popularity of these methods, the significance of the obtained subnetworks is largely unaddressed in the literature. We present two parametric methods to assess the statistical significance of network partitions, and therefore control against spurious subnetworks that may arise in random graphs, rather than self-organized brain networks. We evaluate these methods with simulated data and resting state fMRI data.
