AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

ETAC does a lot of things, and the output files reflect various combinations of those.

First of all, I cannot recommend the "local" option, as I was unable to get it to control the false positive rate reliably enough, and eventually I gave up on it. (It was a lot of code, and I left it in the 3dXClustSim program as a potential avenue for future work.) The local option is not vetted by publication, so you can't really cite any paper to support using it - whereas, the global ETAC option does have a paper you can cite to fight off the reviewers.

Second, the file TT.Ynlg4NLdW0M.Fred1.ETACmask.global.2sid.5perc.nii.gz is, as you say, the binary mask of voxels that survived any of the thresholding cases. And the file TT.Ynlg4NLdW0M.Fred1.ETACmaskALL.global.2sid.5perc.nii.gz shows which voxels passed each individual thresholding case -- collapsing across cases should give the same as TT.Ynlg4NLdW0M.Fred1.ETACmask.global.2sid.5perc.nii.gz

Third, running with multiple values of hpow is something I hoped would help, but does not in fact make much difference in the cases I tested - that is, the clusters that result don't differ much between different values of hpow.
