Estimating high dimensional ODE models from convoluted observations with an application to fMRI

scdn is a Python-based package implementing sparse causal dynamic network analysis for convoluted observations, particular for Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in our research. It aims to provide a sparse dynamic network estimation not only for fMRI data but for other possible convoluted observations. The introduciton and explaination of parameters and ODE models can be found in (1).

Getting Started

This package supports both python 2.7 and python 3.6.

Example provided in the repo has been tested in mac os and Linux environment.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

This package is also published in pypi. For a quick installation, try

pip install scdn
