Hi everybody,
I have two questions about 3dROIstats. The first is a technical question about the -nzmean option. The second is more of a judgment question.
3dROIstats has two options for outputting the mean of an input dataset within a given ROI, -mean and -nzmean. As I understand it, the former averages all values from an input dataset within the ROI. The latter averages only the non-zero values from the input dataset within the ROI.
1. Does 3dROIstats use a range to identify voxels from the input dataset as zero, or does it identify only the voxels that are exactly zero?
2. When is it appropriate to use the former versus the latter?
Thanks in advance for your prompt and helpful responses!
