“…Many studies have been conducted to relate brain networks to behavioral, clinical measures or demographical variables and identify the most predictive network features (Eichele et al, 2008 ; Uddin et al, 2013 ; Brown et al, 2017 ; Beaty et al, 2018 ; Tang et al, 2019 , 2022 ; Li C. et al, 2020 ). However, most of these studies (Chennu et al, 2017 ; Li et al, 2017 ; Warren et al, 2017 ; Du et al, 2019 ; D́ıaz-Arteche and Rakesh, 2020 ; Kuo et al, 2020 ) focus on exploring correlations between the pre-defined network features (e.g., clustering coefficient, small-worldness, characteristic path length, etc.) and the measures to be predicted (such as cognitive impairment, biological variables, behavior profile, psychopathological scores, etc.).…”
