[caret-users] Threshold cluster size

2007-06-15 Thread Katja Umla-Runge

Hello everyone,

I'm a new Caret user and am currently trying to display t-contrast  
fMRI images (SPM99) in Caret. What kind of threshold does Caret  
require (Display control -- metric -- threshold Pos)? I performed  
uncorrected t-tests in SPM with p  .001. Is 0,001 the value to  
insert? And how would you let Caret know that a threshold refers to  
correction for multiple comparisons? If you only want those voxels  
displayed that exceed a given cluster size (e.g. minimal cluster size  
= 20 adjacent voxels), how would you go about?


Thank you for your help

Katja

Hi Katja,

The thresholds only display values greater than the threshold value.   
So you could use the metric math dialog (Attributes Menu-Metric- 
Mathematical Operations to convert your p-values to (1 - p) values  
(I may have seen this called Q) and then set the threshold to  
0.999.  On the Metric Math Dialog, set both Column A and Result to  
your metric data.  Check the button next to Multiply Column A by  
Scalar, enter -1.0 for the value, and press the Apply button.  Next,  
check the button next to Add Scalar to Column A, enter 1.0 for the  
value, and press the Apply button.


To find clusters use Attributes Menu-Metric-Clustering and  
Smoothing.  Press the Help button and it will describe how to use the  
clustering option.  You can also use the threshold values for the  
clusters to find only nodes with values less than 0.001.
