Thanks again Yarik, for helping with RFE! While working on this again, I ran the script for RFE and uncommented line 62:
zscore(ds, chunks_attr=None) using chunks_attr=None as you suggested since I only have two samples per chunk. However, I got much lower accuracies which is odd... SMLR: 35.42% ACC SVM: 50% ACC RFE (overfit): 43.75% ACC RFE (overfit less?): 43.75% ACC RFE (half/splits+rank order): 50% ACC In looking at the documentation for zscoremapper, I wonder if it's possible for zscoremapper to zscore voxel-wise or per target per chunk/run? It seems like it only zscores sample/target wise. I appreciate your help!
