AFNI program: 3dTcorrelate
Output of -help
Usage: 3dTcorrelate [options] xset yset
Computes the correlation coefficient between corresponding voxel
time series in two input 3D+time datasets 'xset' and 'yset', and
stores the output in a new 1 sub-brick dataset.
Options:
-pearson = Correlation is the normal Pearson (product moment)
correlation coefficient [this is the default method].
-spearman = Correlation is the Spearman (rank) correlation
coefficient.
-quadrant = Correlation is the quadrant correlation coefficient.
-ktaub = Correlation is Kendall's tau_b coefficient.
++ For 'continuous' or finely-discretized data, tau_b
and rank correlation are nearly equivalent.
-polort m = Remove polynomical trend of order 'm', for m=-1..3.
[default is m=1; removal is by least squares].
Using m=-1 means no detrending; this is only useful
for data/information that has been pre-processed.
-ort r.1D = Also detrend using the columns of the 1D file 'r.1D'.
Only one -ort option can be given. If you want to use
more than one, create a temporary file using 1dcat.
-autoclip = Clip off low-intensity regions in the two datasets,
-automask = so that the correlation is only computed between
high-intensity (presumably brain) voxels. The
intensity level is determined the same way that
3dClipLevel works.
-prefix p = Save output into dataset with prefix 'p'
[default prefix is 'Tcorr'].
Notes:
* The output dataset is functional bucket type, with just one
sub-brick, stored in floating point format.
* Because both time series are detrended prior to correlation,
the results will not be identical to using FIM or FIM+ to
calculate correlations (whose ideal vector is not detrended).
* Also see 3dTcorr1D if you want to correlate each voxel time series
in a dataset xset with a single 1D time series file.
