【摘 要】 Motivated by recent work on studying massive imaging, genetic, and clinical data invarious biomedical studies, our group proposes three sets of statistical models including imaging on scalar models, image-on-genetic association models, and prediction models for big data integration. Our statistical models explicitly overcome many challenges in big data integration, brain development, and genetic analysis of high-dimensional brain measurements. We develop some fast estimation procedures to simultaneously estimate parameters of interest. We systematically investigate the asymptotic properties (e.g., consistency and asymptotic normality) of various parameter estimates. Our Monte Carlo simulation and real data analysis have confirmed the excellent performance of our models in different applications. Our novel statistical methods are applicable to a variety of neuroimaging studies and imaging genetic studies of, e.g., neuropsychiatric disorders, major neurodegenerative diseases, substance use disorders, as well as normal brain development.
