Testing for Equivalence Dice: Simpson: 2ε 2ε ε ε 0 0 -ε -ε -2ε -2ε
Results: Inter-Site Equivalence Neuromag-CTF 4D-Neuromag CTF-4D Neuromag Neuromag vs. vs. vs. CTF CTF 4D 4D 1.0 % of subject-runs admitting equivalence 0.5 0.0
Conclusion • Regions agree visually • Multicenter pooling of data does not affect localization … • … except for some subjects and pairs of sites. • Our criteria is stringent: equivalence in small ε • Next steps • Test other methods to estimate activity • Ensure estimation does not affect pooling • Set up data model for multicenter pooling • Allow for search by pathology or condition
