#' @details
#' This function allows the development of an activation analysis for single voxels. A multivariate dynamic linear model is fitted to a cluster of voxels, with its center at location \code{(i,j,k)}, in the way it is presented in \insertCite{CARDONAJIMENEZ2021107297}{BayesDLMfMRI}.
#' @param posi.ffd  the position of the voxel in the brain image.
#' @param covariates a data frame or matrix whose columns contain the covariates related to the expected BOLD response obtained from the experimental setup.
#' @param ffdc a 4D array (\code{ffdc[i,j,k,t]}) that contains the sequence of MRI images that are meant to be analyzed. \code{(i,j,k)} define the position of the observed voxel at time t.
#' @param m0 the constant prior mean value for the covariates parameters and common to all voxels within every neighborhood at \code{t=0} (\code{m=0} is the default value when no prior information is available). For the case of available prior information, \code{m0} can be defined as a \mjseqn{p\times q} matrix, where \mjseqn{p} is the number of columns in the covariates object and \mjseqn{q} is the cluster size.
#' @param Cova a positive constant that defines the prior variances for the covariates parameters at \code{t=0} (\code{Cova=100} is the default value when no prior information is available). For the case of available prior information, \code{Cova} can be defined as a \mjseqn{p \times p} matrix, where \mjseqn{p} is the number of columns in the covariates object.
#' @param delta a discount factor related to the evolution variances. Recommended values between \code{0.85<delta<1}. \code{delta=1} will yield results similar to the classical general linear model.
#' @param S0 prior covariance structure among voxels within every cluster at \code{t=0}. \code{S0=1} is the default value when no prior information is available and defines an \mjseqn{q\times q} identity matrix. For the case of available prior information, \code{S0} can be defined as an \mjseqn{q\times q} matrix, where \mjseqn{q} is the common number of voxels in every cluster.
#' @param n0 a positive hyperparameter of the prior distribution for the covariance matrix \code{S0} at \code{t=0} (\code{n1=1} is the default value when no prior information is available). For the case of available prior information, \code{n0} can be set as \code{n0=np}, where \code{np} is the number of MRI images in the pilot sample.
#' @param N1 is the number of images (\code{2<N1<T}) from the \code{ffdc} array employed in the model fitting. \code{N1=NULL} (or equivalently \code{N1=T}) is its default value, taking all the images in the \code{ffdc} array for the fitting process.
#' @param Nsimu1 is the number of simulated on-line trajectories related to the state parameters. These simulated curves are later employed to compute the posterior probability of voxel activation.
#' @param Cutpos1 a cutpoint time from where the on-line trajectories begin. This parameter value is related to an approximation from a t-student distribution to a normal distribution. Values equal to or greater than 30 are recommended (\code{30<Cutpos1<T}).  
#' @param Min.vol helps to define a threshold for the voxels considered in
#' the analysis. For example, \code{Min.vol = 0.10} means that all the voxels with values
#' below to \code{max(ffdc)*Min.vol} can be considered irrelevant and discarded from the analysis.
#' @param r1 a positive integer number that defines the distance from every voxel with its most distant neighbor. This value determines the size of the cluster. The users can set a range of different \code{r1} values: \mjseqn{r1 = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, which leads to \mjseqn{q = 1, 7, 19, 27, 33}, where \mjseqn{q} is the size of the cluster.
#' @param Test test type either \code{"LTT"} (Average cluster effect) or \code{"JointTest"} (Joint effect).
#' @return a list containing a vector (Evidence) with the evidence measure of 
#' activation for each of the \code{p} covariates considered in the model, the simulated 
#' online trajectories related to the state parameter, the simulated BOLD responses,
#'  and a measure to examine the goodness of fit of the model \mjseqn{(100 \ast |Y[i,j,k]_t - \hat{Y}[i,j,k]_t |/ \hat{Y}[i,j,k]_t )} for that particular voxel (\code{FitnessV}).
