description Schizophrenia (SZ) is a functional mental disorder that seriously affects the social life of patients. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of SZ has raised extensive attention of researchers. At present, study of brain network based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has provided promising results for SZ identification by studying functional network alteration. However, previous studies based on brain network analysis are not very effective for SZ identification. Therefore, we propose an improved SZ identification method using multi-view graph measures of functional brain networks. Firstly, we construct an individual functional connectivity network based on Brainnetome atlas for each subject. Then, multi-view graph measures are calculated by the brain network analysis method as feature representations. Next, in order to consider the relationships between measures within the same brain region in feature selection, multi-view measures are grouped according to the corresponding regions and Sparse Group Lasso is applied to identify discriminative features based on this feature grouping structure. Finally, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is employed to perform SZ identification task. To evaluate our proposed method, computational experiments are conducted on 145 subjects (71 schizophrenic patients and 74 healthy controls) using a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) scheme. The results show that our proposed method can obtain an accuracy of 93.10% for SZ identification. By comparison, our method is more effective for SZ identification than some existing methods.
