    Abstract Seizures represent a brain activity state charac-terised by extended synchronised firing in multiple regions that prevent normal brain functioning. It is important to develop methods to distinguish between normal and abnormal synchro-nisation in epilepsy, as well as to localise the networks involved in seizures. To this end, we perform a preliminary investigation in the use of principal components analysis (PCA) to assess the change in dynamic electroencephalogram (EEG) connectivity before and after seizure onset. Source estimation was performed for an openly available EEG dataset from 14 patients with epilepsy. By applying PCA onto the EEG data processed into dynamic connectivity (dFC) matrices, we identified a set of connectivity topologies (eigenconnectivities) that explain high levels of variance in the dynamic connectivity. We compare the dimensionality reduction results obtained on source-level vs. scalp-level connectivity. We identified eigenconnectivities with differences in preictal vs. ictal activity and the brain networks associated with these activations. The work illustrates a data-driven approach for identification of topologies of brain networks that change with seizure onset. Clinical relevance We identified networks that are signifi-cantly varying with preictal vs. ictal brain activity some of which verify preexistent epilepsy markers in a data-driven way.

    Abstract Multivariate entropy quantification algorithms are becoming a prominent tool for the extraction of information from multi-channel physiological time-series. However, in the analysis of physiological signals from heterogeneous organ systems, certain channels may overshadow the patterns of others, resulting in information loss. Here, we introduce the framework of Stratified Entropy to prioritize each channels' dynamics based on their allocation to respective strata, leading to a richer description of the multi-channel time-series. As an implementation of the framework, three algorithmic variations of the Stratified Multivariate Multiscale Dispersion Entropy are introduced. These variations and the original algorithm are applied to synthetic time-series, waveform physiological time-series, and derivative physiological data. Based on the synthetic time-series experiments, the variations successfully prioritize channels following their strata allocation while maintaining the low computation time of the original algorithm. In experiments on waveform physiological time-series and derivative physiological data, increased discrimination capacity was noted for multiple strata allocations in the variations when benchmarked to the original algorithm. This suggests improved physiological state monitoring by the variations. Furthermore, our variations can be modified to utilize a priori knowledge for the stratification of channels. Thus, our research provides a novel approach for the extraction of previously inaccessible information from multi-channel time series acquired from heterogeneous systems.

    Abstract Determining the underlying number of components $R$ in tensor decompositions is challenging. Diverse techniques exist for various decompositions, notably the core consistency diagnostic (CORCONDIA) for Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD). Here, we propose a model that intuitively adapts CORCONDIA for rank estimation in Block Term Decomposition (BTD) of rank $(L_r, L_r, 1)$: BTDCORCONDIA. Our metric was tested on simulated and real-world tensor data, including assessments of its sensitivity to noise and the indeterminacy of BTD $(L_r, L_r, 1)$. We found that selecting appropriate $R$ and $L_r$ led to core consistency reaching or close to 100%, and BTDCORCONDIA is efficient when the tensor has significantly more elements than the core. Our results confirm that CORCONDIA can be extended to BTD $(L_r, L_r, 1)$, and the resulting metric can assist in the process of determining the number of components in this tensor factorisation.

    Abstract Finding graph indices which are unbiased to network size and density is of high importance both within a given field and across fields for enhancing comparability of modern network science studies. The degree variance is an important metric for characterising network degree heterogeneity. Here, we provide an analytically valid normalisation of degree variance to replace previous normalisations which are either invalid or not applicable to all networks. It is shown that this normalisation provides equal values for graphs and their complements; it is maximal in the star graph (and its complement); and its expected value is constant with respect to density for Erdös-Rényi (ER) random graphs of the same size. We strengthen these results with model observations in ER random graphs, random geometric graphs, scale-free networks, random hierarchy networks and resting-state brain networks, showing that the proposed normalisation is generally less affected by both network size and density than previous normalisation attempts. The closed form expression proposed also benefits from high computational efficiency and straightforward mathematical analysis. Analysis of 184 real-world binary networks across different disciplines shows that normalised degree variance is not correlated with average degree and is robust to node and edge subsampling. Comparisons across subdomains of biological networks reveals greater degree heterogeneity among brain connectomes and food webs than in protein interaction networks.

    Abstract Dispersion entropy (DispEn) is a recently introduced entropy metric to quantify the uncertainty of time series. It is fast and, so far, it has demonstrated very good performance in the characterisation of time series. It includes a mapping step, but the effect of different mappings has not been studied yet. Here, we investigate the effect of linear and nonlinear mapping approaches in DispEn. We also inspect the sensitivity of different parameters of DispEn to noise. Moreover, we develop fluctuation-based DispEn (FDispEn) as a measure to deal with only the fluctuations of time series. Furthermore, the original and fluctuation-based forbidden dispersion patterns are introduced to discriminate deterministic from stochastic time series. Finally, we compare the performance of DispEn, FDispEn, permutation entropy, sample entropy, and Lempel-Ziv complexity on two physiological datasets. The results show that DispEn is the most consistent technique to distinguish various dynamics of the biomedical signals. Due to their advantages over existing entropy methods, DispEn and FDispEn are expected to be broadly used for the characterization of a wide variety of real-world time series.

    Abstract The evaluation of complexity in univariate signals has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This is often done using the framework of Multiscale Entropy, which entails two basic steps: coarse-graining to consider multiple temporal scales, and evaluation of irregularity for each of those scales with entropy estimators. Recent developments in the field have proposed modifications to this approach to facilitate the analysis of short-time series. However, the role of the downsampling in the classical coarse-graining process and its relationships with alternative filtering techniques has not been systematically explored yet. Here, we assess the impact of coarse-graining in multiscale entropy estimations based on both Sample Entropy and Dispersion Entropy. We compare the classical moving average approach with low-pass Butterworth filtering, both with and without downsampling, and empirical mode decomposition in Intrinsic Multiscale Entropy, in selected synthetic data and two real physiological datasets. The results show that when the sampling frequency is low or high, downsampling respectively decreases or increases the entropy values. Our results suggest that, when dealing with long signals and relatively low levels of noise, the refine composite method makes little difference in the quality of the entropy estimation at the expense of considerable additional computational cost. It is also found that downsampling within the coarse-graining procedure may not be required to quantify the complexity of signals, especially for short ones. Overall, we expect these results to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the development of stable, fast and robust-to-noise multiscale entropy techniques suited for either short or long recordings.

    Abstract Entropy metrics are nonlinear measures to quantify the complexity of time series. Among them, permutation entropy is a common metric due to its robustness and fast computation. Multivariate entropy metrics techniques are needed to analyse data consisting of more than one time series. To this end, we present a multivariate permutation entropy, $MPE_G$, using a graph-based approach. Given a multivariate signal, the algorithm $MPE_G$ involves two main steps: 1) we construct an underlying graph G as the Cartesian product of two graphs G1 and G2, where G1 preserves temporal information of each times series together with G2 that models the relations between different channels, and 2) we consider the multivariate signal as samples defined on the regular graph G and apply the recently introduced permutation entropy for graphs. Our graph-based approach gives the flexibility to consider diverse types of cross channel relationships and signals, and it overcomes with the limitations of current multivariate permutation entropy.
