Title:Estimation of the
Error Auto-Correlation Matrix in Semiparametric Models for Brain fMRI Data（在脑功能核磁共振成像数据的半参数模型中的误差自相关矩阵的估计）
Abstract: In statistical
analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), dealing with the
temporal correlation is a major challenge in assessing changes within voxels.
This paper aims to address this issue by considering a semiparametric model for
single-voxel fMRI. For the error process in the semi-parametric model, we
construct a banded estimate of the auto-correlation matrix R, and propose a
refined estimate of the inverse of R. Under some mild regularity conditions, we
establish consistency of the banded estimate with an explicit rate of
convergence and show that the refined estimate converges under an appropriate norm.
Numerical results suggest that the refined estimate performs well when it is
applied to the detection of the brain activity.
