The purpose of this reply is to address the comments given by Kelly et al. on our original paper "Unique Brain Network Identification Number for Parkinson's and Healthy Individuals using Structural MRI". We agree to the inadvertent rounding pitfall in our original paper due to the non-inclusion of symbolic math toolbox (MATLAB). We now provide the actual ranges (with decimal values) of the UBNIN values of healthy individuals and those with Parkinson's disease and further observations. Upon further introspection, we propose another variant, called Modified-UBNIN (UBNIN-M) which is highly weighted on the node with the highest network degree (i.e., connections). The italicized sentences within inverted commas are statements from Kelly et al.'s comment paper.
本回复的目的是回应凯利等人对我们的原始论文《使用结构磁共振成像识别帕金森病患者和健康个体的独特脑网络识别码》所提出的意见。我们承认由于未使用符号数学工具箱(MATLAB),我们的原始论文中存在无意的舍入误差。我们现在提供健康个体和帕金森病患者的UBNIN值的实际范围(带小数值)以及进一步的观察结果。经过进一步反思,我们提出了另一种变体,称为修正UBNIN(UBNIN-M),它在网络度(即连接数)最高的节点上具有较高权重。引号内的斜体句子是凯利等人的评论论文中的陈述。
