On the Control of Psychological Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce two controllability statistics to the psychometric literature to facilitate selecting the best set of intervention targets, and show how intervention scientists can probe the effects of both theoretical and empirical interventions on networks derived from real data and demonstrate how simulations can account for intervention cost and the desire to reduce specific symptoms.
