Classes

permutation_test

class nipy.labs.group.permutation_test.permutation_test[source]

Bases: object

This generic permutation test class contains the calibration method which is common to the derived classes permutation_test_onesample and permutation_test_twosample (as well as other common methods)

__init__($self, /, *args, **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

nipy.labs.group.permutation_test.extract_clusters_from_diam(T, XYZ, th, diam, k=18)[source]

Extract clusters from a statistical map under diameter constraint and above given threshold In: T (p) statistical map

XYZ (3,p) voxels coordinates th <float> minimum threshold diam <int> maximal diameter (in voxels) k <int> the number of neighbours considered. (6,18 or 26)

Comment by alexis-roche, September 15th 2012: this function was originally developed by Merlin Keller in an attempt to generalize classical cluster-level analysis by subdividing clusters in blobs with limited diameter (at least, this is my understanding). This piece of code seems to have remained very experimental and its usefulness in real-world neuroimaging image studies is still to be demonstrated.
