چکیده

Recently, Eklund et al. (1) analyzed clustering methods in standard fMRI packages: AFNI (which we maintain), FSL, and SPM. They claim that (i ) false-positive rates (FPRs) in traditional approaches are greatly inflated, questioning the validity of “countless published fMRI studies”; (ii ) nonparametric methods produce valid, but slightly conservative, FPRs; (iii ) a common flawed assumption is that the spatial autocorrelation function (ACF) of fMRI noise is Gaussian-shaped; and (iv) a 15-yold bug in AFNI’s 3dClustSim significantly contributed to producing “particularly high” FPRs compared with other software. We repeated simulations from ref. 1 [Beijing_Zang data (2), cf. ref. 3) and comment on each point briefly.

Controling the False Positive Detection Rate in Fuzzy Clustering of Fmri Data

Despite its potential advantages for fMRI analysis, fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering suffers from limitations such as the need for a priori knowledge of the number of clusters, and unknown statistical significance and instability of the results. We propose a randomizationbased method to control the false positive rate and estimate statistical significance of the FCM results. Using this novel appr...

Novel approach to control false positive rate in fuzzy cluster analysis of fMRI

Fuzzy c-means (FCM) suffers from some limitations such as the need for a priori knowledge of the number of clusters, and unknown statistical significance and instability of the results, when it is applied to the raw fMRI time series. Based on randomization, we developed a method to control the false positive detection rate in FCM and estimate the statistical significance of the results. Using t...

P14: Segmentation Brain Tumors of FMRI Images by Gabor Wavelet Transform and Fuzzy Clustering

Today, high mortality rates due to brain tumors require early diagnosis in the early stages to treat and reduce mortality. Therefore, the use of automatic methods will be very useful for accurate examination of tumors. In recent years, the use of FMRI images has been considered for clarity and high quality for the diagnosis of tumor and the exact location of the tumor. In this study, a complete...

Cluster success: fMRI inferences for spatial extent have acceptable false-positive rates.

In an editorial (this issue), I argued that Eklund, Nichols, and Knutsson's 'null data' reflected resting-state/default network activity that inflated their false-positive rates. Commentaries on that paper were received by Nichols, Eklund, and Knutsson (this issue), Hopfinger (this issue), and Cunningham and Koscik (this issue). In this author response, I consider these commentaries. Many issue...
