rgamm4Param: Run a Generalized Additive Mixed Effects Model on all voxels...

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/rgamm4Param.R

Description

This function is able to run a Generalized Mixed Effects Model (GAMM) using the gamm4() function. The analysis will run in all voxels in in the mask and will return parametric and smooth coefficients.

Usage

2
rgamm4Param(image, mask, fourdOut = NULL, formula, randomFormula, subjData,
  mc.preschedule = TRUE, ncores = 1, ...)

Arguments

image

Input image of type 'nifti' or vector of path(s) to images. If multiple paths, the script will all mergeNifti() and merge across time.

mask

Input mask of type 'nifti' or path to mask. Must be a binary mask

fourdOut

To be passed to mergeNifti, This is the path and file name without the suffix to save the fourd file. Default (NULL) means script won't write out 4D image.

formula

Must be a formula passed to gamm4()

randomFormula

Random effects formula passed to gamm4()

subjData

Dataframe containing all the covariates used for the analysis

mc.preschedule

Argument to be passed to mclapply, whether or not to preschedule the jobs. More info in parallel::mclapply

ncores

Number of cores to use

...

Additional arguments passed to gamm4()

Value

Return list of parametric and spline coefficients (include standard errors and p-values) fitted to each voxel over the masked images passed to function.

set.seed(1)
covs <- data.frame(x = runif(25), y = runif(25), id = rep(1:5,5))
fm1 <- "~ s(x) + s(y)"
randomFormula <- "~(1|id)"
models <- rgamm4Param(image, mask, formula = fm1, 
                 randomFormula = randomFormula, subjData = covs, ncores = 1, REML=TRUE)
