RFT Statistical Results

Description

Returns RFT based statistical results for a single statistical image

Usage

rftResults(
  x,
  resels,
  fwhm,
  df,
  fieldType,
  RPVImg = NULL,
  k = 1,
  threshType = "pRFT",
  pval = 0.05,
  pp = 0.001,
  n = 1,
  statdir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	statistical field image of class antsImage
resels	resel values for the mask
fwhm	full width at half maxima
df	degrees of freedom expressed as df = c(degrees of interest, degrees of error)
fieldType	T: T-field F: F-field X: Chi-square field' Z: Gaussian field
RPVImg	resels per voxel image
k	minimum desired cluster size (default = 1)
threshType	a numeric value to threshTypeold the statistical field or a character of the following methods: cRFT: computes a threshTypeold per expected cluster level probability pRFT: uses the mask and pval calculates the minimum statistical threshTypeold cFDR: uses an uncorrected threshTypeold at the alpha level and then computes and FDR threshTypeold based on cluster maxima pFDR: computes the fdr threshTypeold for the entire field of voxels
pval	the p-value for estimating the threshTypeold (default = .05)
pp	the primary (initial) p-value for threshTypeolding (only used for FDR methods; default = .001)
n	number of images in conjunction
statdir	directory where output is saved (if not specified images are not saved)
verbose	enables verbose output

Details

rftPval is used to compute all family-wise error (FWE) corrected statistics while p.adjust is used to compute all false-discovery rate based statistics. All statistics herein involve implementation of random field theory (RFT) to some extent.

Both cluster-level and peak-level statistics are described by the uncorrected p-value along with the FDR and FWE corrected p-values for each cluster. Peak-level statistics are described by the maximum statistical value in each cluster and the comparable Z statistic. The ClusterStats table also contains coordinates for each cluster and the number of voxels therein. By default threshType = "pRFT" and pval=.05. Alternatively, the user may use a specific numeric value for threshTypeolding the statistical field. statFieldThresh more fully describes using appropriate threshTypeolds for statistical fields and how pp plays a role in FDR threshTypeolding.

Outputs a statistical value to be used for threshTypeold a statistical field image
