• Abstract summary: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with a poorly understood physiopathology and no established biomarkers for the diagnosis of early stages and for prediction of disease progression. Several neuroimaging biomarkers have been studied recently, but these are susceptible to several sources of variability related for instance to cohort selection or image analysis. This study is part of a larger project investigating the replicability of potential neuroimaging biomarkers of PD.

• Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with a poorly understood physiopathology and no established biomarkers for the diagnosis of early stages and for prediction of disease progression. Several neuroimaging biomarkers have been studied recently, but these are susceptible to several sources of variability related for instance to cohort selection or image analysis. In this context, an evaluation of the robustness of such biomarkers to variations in the data processing workflow is essential. This study is part of a larger project investigating the replicability of potential neuroimaging biomarkers of PD. Here, we attempt to reproduce (re-implementing the experiments with the same data, same method) and replicate (different data and/or method) the models described in [1] to predict individual's PD current state and progression using demographic, clinical and neuroimaging features (fALFF and ReHo extracted from resting-state fMRI). We use the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative dataset (PPMI, ppmi-info.org), as in [1] and aim to reproduce the original cohort, imaging features and machine learning models as closely as possible using the information available in the paper and the code. We also investigated methodological variations in cohort selection, feature extraction pipelines and sets of input features. Different criteria were used to evaluate the reproduction and compare the reproduced results with the original ones. Notably, we obtained significantly better than chance performance using the analysis pipeline closest to that in the original study (R2 \> 0), which is consistent with its findings. Moreover, using derived data provided by the authors of the original study, we were able to make an exact reproduction and managed to obtain results that were close to the original ones. The challenges encountered while reproducing and replicating the original work are likely explained by the complexity of neuroimaging studies, in particular in clinical settings. We provide recommendations to further facilitate the reproducibility of such studies in the future.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) have witnessed an unprecedented proliferation in tackling several problems in computer vision, computer-aided diagnosis, and related fields. While prior studies have focused on boosting the model accuracy, quantifying the most discriminative features identified by GNNs is still an intact problem that yields concerns about their reliability in clinical applications in particular. We propose for the first time, a framework for GNN assessment via the most discriminative features (i.e., biomarkers) shared between different models. To ascertain the soundness of our framework, the assessment embraces variations of different factors such as training strategies and
