Graph theoretical measures of the fast ripple MI networks improve the discrimination of non-responders. (A) 3D scatter plot of the FR (>350 Hz) MI global graph theoretical measures (three univariate Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, P > 0.05). (B) Violin plot of MI computed for SOZ–SOZ edges (red), SOZ–NSOZ edges (green), NSOZ–NSOZ edges (blue) across all the responder and non-responder patients (GLMM, P > 0.05). (C) Local efficiency of SOZ (red) and NSOZ (blue) nodes across responder and non-responder patients (GLMM, P > 0.05). (D) Nodal strength of SOZ (red) and NSOZ (blue) nodes across responder and non-responder patients. The location of the node within the SOZ significantly influenced nodal strength (GLMM, P < 0.05), (E, F) 3D scatter plots of the PC scores derived from PCA of the three global measures (A) from all the patients in the training set (E) and combined exploratory and test set (F). The PC2 score was significantly different in the responders compared with non-responders for the training set (rank-sum, P = 0.03) and the combined exploratory and test set patients (rank-sum, P = 0.01). However, only in the latter group did the effect survive after Bonferroni–Holm correction. The PC1 and PC3 scores were not significantly different rank-sum, P > 0.05). (G, H, blue) The ROC curve for non-responder classification in the exploratory dataset (G, n = 19 responders, n = 11 non-responders/no resection or RNS) and in the test dataset (H, n = 9 responders, 4 non-responders/no resection or RNS) by the SVM-1 trained using the SOZ, and FR (>350 Hz) distance, rate–distance and three MI global metric predictors derived from all the exploratory dataset patients. (G, H, red) The ROC curve for non-responder classification using SVM-2 in the exploratory (n = 12 responders, n = 10 non-responders/no resection or RNS) and test set patients (H, n = 9 responders, 4 non-responders/no resection or RNS). SVM-2 excluded RNS implant only patients in the exploratory dataset prior to training and testing. AUC: area under the ROC curve.
