Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We illustrate our results numerically with validations on synthetic data, and through an application to neuroimaging data. 6 Experiments We first validate our family of d-order interaction tests (in particular, d = 5) on synthetic datasets with ground truth interactions, and then investigate their application to a neuroimaging dataset.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Permutation test for the interaction measures
Open Source Code Yes This code for performing the interaction tests and the synthetic experiments is provided in this anonymous Github repository https://github.com/barahona-research-group/ streitberg-interaction.git.
Open Datasets Yes The dataset consists of resting-state f MRI data from 50 unrelated subjects part of the Human Connectome Project [50, 51].
Dataset Splits No Unless stated otherwise, the significance level is set to α = 0.05, sample size to n = 80, and we use Gaussian kernels with the median heuristic as the bandwidth. The paper discusses generating data for synthetic experiments and using fMRI data, but does not provide explicit train/validation/test dataset splits beyond this setup information.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments carried out on a 2015 i Mac with 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor and 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 memory.
Software Dependencies Yes All preprocessing steps were performed using the CONN toolbox (https://www. nitrc.org/projects/conn/), version 17f58.
Experiment Setup Yes Unless stated otherwise, the significance level is set to α = 0.05, sample size to n = 80, and we use Gaussian kernels with the median heuristic as the bandwidth.
