'''isxavg-re''' is a program for intersubject averaging using a
random-effects model (see ["isxavg-fe"] for fixed effects model). It
actually performs statistical analysis as well. It works by computing
one number for each subject (at each voxel) based on the contrast
matrix. This yields a set of numbers (at each voxel), one for each
subject. The average and standard deviation of the set are computed
and used to compute a t-statistic the siginficance of H_0: t=0$ is
computed using N-1 degrees of freedom where N is the number of
subjects. When jackknifing is turned on, a new set of N
numbers is computed by successively averaging N-1 subjects while
excluding a different subject each time. This reduces the effects of
small sample sizes on the correctness of the siginficance levels.
Jackknifing does increase the time to process data. It is highly
recommended and the default in '"isxavg-re"'. Note that '''isxavg-re''' can be
run on any data set, not just the output of ["selxavg"].

Description

isxavg-re is a program for intersubject averaging using a random-effects model (see ["isxavg-fe"] for fixed effects model). It actually performs statistical analysis as well. It works by computing one number for each subject (at each voxel) based on the contrast matrix. This yields a set of numbers (at each voxel), one for each subject. The average and standard deviation of the set are computed and used to compute a t-statistic the siginficance of H_0: t=0$ is computed using N-1 degrees of freedom where N is the number of subjects. When jackknifing is turned on, a new set of N numbers is computed by successively averaging N-1 subjects while excluding a different subject each time. This reduces the effects of small sample sizes on the correctness of the siginficance levels. Jackknifing does increase the time to process data. It is highly recommended and the default in '"isxavg-re"'. Note that isxavg-re can be run on any data set, not just the output of ["selxavg"].
