Diffusion MRI is a neuroimaging technique measuring the anatomical structure of tissues. Using diffusion MRI to construct the connections of tissues, known as fiber tracking, is one of the most important uses of diffusion MRI. Many techniques are available recently but few properly quantify statistical uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a directed acyclic graph auto-regressive model of positive definite matrices and apply a probabilistic fiber tracking algorithm. We use both real data analysis and numerical studies to demonstrate our proposal.
