AFNI program: 3dTcorr1D
Output of -help
Usage: 3dTcorr1D [options] xset y1D ~1~
Computes the correlation coefficient between each voxel time series
in the input 3D+time dataset 'xset' and each column in the 1D time
series file 'y1D', and stores the output values in a new dataset.
--------
OPTIONS: ~1~
--------
-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 (but not equal).
-dot = Doesn't actually compute a correlation coefficient; just
calculates the dot product between the y1D vector(s)
and the dataset time series.
-Fisher = Apply the 'Fisher' (inverse hyperbolic tangent = arctanh)
transformation to the results.
++ It does NOT make sense to use this with '-ktaub', but if
you want to do it, the program will not stop you.
++ Cannot be used with '-dot'!
-prefix p = Save output into dataset with prefix 'p'
[default prefix is 'Tcorr1D'].
-mask mmm = Only process voxels from 'xset' that are nonzero
in the 3D mask dataset 'mmm'.
++ Other voxels in the output will be set to zero.
-float = Save results in float format [the default format].
-short = Save results in scaled short format [to save disk space].
++ Cannot be used with '-dot'!

NOTES: ~1~
------
* The output dataset is functional bucket type, with one sub-brick
per column of the input y1D file.
* No detrending, blurring, or other pre-processing options are available;
if you want these things, see 3dDetrend or 3dTproject or 3dcalc.
[In other words, this program presumes you know what you are doing!]
* Also see 3dTcorrelate to do voxel-by-voxel correlation of TWO
3D+time datasets' time series, with similar options.
* You can extract the time series from a single voxel with given
spatial indexes using 3dmaskave, and then run it with 3dTcorr1D:
3dmaskave -quiet -ibox 40 30 20 epi_r1+orig > r1_40_30_20.1D
3dTcorr1D -pearson -Fisher -prefix c_40_30_20 epi_r1+orig r1_40_30_20.1D

=========================================================================
* This binary version of 3dTcorr1D is compiled using OpenMP, a semi-
automatic parallelizer software toolkit, which splits the work across
multiple CPUs/cores on the same shared memory computer.
* OpenMP is NOT like MPI -- it does not work with CPUs connected only
by a network (e.g., OpenMP doesn't work across cluster nodes).
* For some implementation and compilation details, please see
https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/misc/OpenMP.html
* The number of CPU threads used will default to the maximum number on
your system. You can control this value by setting environment variable
OMP_NUM_THREADS to some smaller value (including 1).
* Un-setting OMP_NUM_THREADS resets OpenMP back to its default state of
using all CPUs available.
++ However, on some systems, it seems to be necessary to set variable
OMP_NUM_THREADS explicitly, or you only get one CPU.
++ On other systems with many CPUS, you probably want to limit the CPU
count, since using more than (say) 16 threads is probably useless.
* You must set OMP_NUM_THREADS in the shell BEFORE running the program,
since OpenMP queries this variable BEFORE the program actually starts.
++ You can't usefully set this variable in your ~/.afnirc file or on the
command line with the '-D' option.
* How many threads are useful? That varies with the program, and how well
it was coded. You'll have to experiment on your own systems!
* The number of CPUs on this particular computer system is ...... 1.
* The maximum number of CPUs that will be used is now set to .... 1.
