Empirical Bayesian Models of L1/L2 Mixed-norm Constraints

Classical examples are the EEG/MEG source localization and the estimation of effective brain connectivity. Many kinds of constraints or prior information have been proposed to regularize these inverse problems. Combination of smoothness (L2 norm-based penalties) and sparseness (L1 normbased penalties) seem to be a promising approach due to its flexibility, but the estimation of optimal weights for balancing these constraints became a critical issue (Vega-Hernández et al., 2008). Two important examples of constraints that combine L1/L2 norms are the Elastic Net (Vega-Hernández et al., 2008) and the Mixed-Norm L12 (MxN, Gramfort et al., 2012). The latter imposes the properties along different dimensions of a matrix inverse problem. In this work, we formulate an empirical Bayesian model...

Here, the relation between mean tract-based fractional anisotropy (mTBFA) and intelligence indices was explored. Deterministic tractography was performed using a regions of interest approach for 10 white-matter fascicles along which the mTBFA was calculated. The study sample included 83 healthy individuals from the second wave of the Cuban Human Brain Mapping Project, whose WAIS-III intelligence quotients and indices were obtained. Inspired by the "Watershed model" of intelligence, we employed a regularized hierarchical Multiple Indicator, Multiple Causes model (MIMIC), to assess the association of mTBFA with intelligence scores, as mediated by latent variables summarizing the indices. Regularized MIMIC, used due to the limited sample size, selected relevant mTBFA by means of an elastic net penalty and achieved good fits to the data. Two latent variables were necessary to describe the indices: Fluid intelligence (Perceptual Organization and Processing Speed indices) and Crystallized Intelligence (Verbal Comprehension and Working Memory indices). Regularized MIMIC revealed effects of the forceps minor tract on crystallized intelligence and of the superior longitudinal fasciculus on fluid intelligence. The model also detected the significant effect of age on both latent variables.

The research, which involved 82 young people aged between 18 and 24 years, began in November 2015 and ended with the analysis of data collected in December 2018. In line with the methodological indications of the constructivist Grounded Theory (GT) (Charmaz, 2000, 2006, 2014), field research was immediately accompanied by open coding, using all that was useful for saturation of the categories.The constant critical reflection, conducted throughout the process of my research, has led to detect and define 3 core categories that are fundamental to the definition of a substantive theory. The permanent orientation emerges as a social need because it promotes and increases the psychological well-being of NEETs. The comparison between the “initial” questions of research and the 3 co...

It would be desirable to create links between the various providers of training, education and business, allowing for a reframing of orientation processes and of identification and certification of skills. All these practices can reduce distances for those who are likely to remain at the margins of education, training and work (Neet and over fifty).
