CommKern

Description

The CommKern package provides a streamlined implementation in the design and analysis of network community structures with specific applications to neuroimaging data. The hierarchical multimodal spinglass (HMS) algorithm has been developed as a novel community detection algorithm, while the semiparametric kernel machine methods allow for statistical inference to be performed to test for potential associations between these community structures and an outcome of interest, whether binary or continuous.

This package was part of Alexandria Jensen's Ph.D. dissertation which was overseen by her advisor Debashis Ghosh. Peter DeWitt provided extensive mentorship on the creation of this package.
