Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Spearman correlation (two-sided) between connectivity of DBS sites to the agreement map and clinical improvements ( R = 0.41). This analysis was circular and meant to demonstrate the degree of fit between model and data, i.e., the maximal possible amount of variance that could be explained by this agreement map in the data used to create it. Due to circularity, we avoid reporting the p -value of this correlation. However, correlations remained significant when subjecting the analysis to fivefold cross-validation, which circumvented circularity (rho(135) = 0.20, p = 0.018, 95% CI [0.04, 0.36]). No adjustment for multiple comparisons was applied. The shaded area indicates the 95% confidence interval. DBS Deep Brain Stimulation, STN Subthalamic nucleus, VIM Ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus.
