SnPM with “pseudo” t-statistic permutation distribution SPM with standard t-statisic SnPM with standard t-statisic? – similar!
SnPM: minimal assumptions guaranteed valid intuitive, flexible, powerful any statistic: voxel / summary any summary statistic maximum pseudo t – restricted volume – cluster size / height / mass – omnibus tests computational burden need sufficient relabellings Uses low df dodgy parametric no parametric results SnPM
Non-parametric tests in fNI… • weak distributional assumptions • don’t assume normality • replace data by ranks • lose information • exchangeability • independence – fMRI • Classic tests • Wilcoxon rank sum test • Kolmogorov-Smirnov test • Permutation tests • Holmes, Arndt (PET) • Bullmore, Locascio (fMRI)noise whitening, permutation • Nichols & Holmes (fMRI)label (re)-randomisation • minimal assumptions • exchangeability • valid often exact • multiple comparisons • via maximal statistics • flexible • computational burden • sufficient permutations • additional power at low d.f. • via “pseudo” t-statistics
SnPM (standard t) • 12 scans • 212 permutations • All 2048/2 computed • p=1/2048 • a = 0.05 critical threshold:ua = 7.9248 • Bonferoni critical threshold: ua = 9.0717 • 30 min on Sparc Ultra 10
SnPM (pseudo t) • 12 scans • 212 permutations • All 2048/2 computed • p = 1/2048 • a = 0.05 critical threshold:ua = 5.120 • 40 min on a Sparc Ultra10
