Regarding question 1, I was somewhat surprised to see the simplest model being the best. Although the results show that complex models are susceptible to overfitting, I thought the simplest model would be susceptible to underfitting. Therefore, I expected that a "not too simple, but not too complex" model would work the best, which wasn't the case in this paper. SAR was also a purely spatial with no dynamics, so I guess fewer parameters are better in some cases?
Having not read the paper, my guess is that the simpler model performed best due to a small training data set.
An interesting paper recently came out in Neuroimage (link below). The authors review several computational models using graph theory to predict functional connectivity from structural connectivity.
