const.adj.list {brainwaver}R Documentation

Computation of the list of adjacency matrices

Description

Computes the list of the adjacency matrices in terms of the scale of the wavelet decomposition.

Usage

const.adj.list(wave.cor.list, wave.var.ind = 0, n.ind = 0, thresh = 0.05, 
                 sup = 0, test.method = "gaussian", proc.length, 
                 use.tanh = FALSE)

Arguments

wave.cor.list object of class "Wave Correlation" containing the correlation matrices to be analysed
wave.var.ind object of class "Wave Correlation" containing the inter individuals variance of the correlation. Only used with test.method="t.test". (default not used)
n.ind number of individuals to take into account in the test. Only used with test.method="t.test". (default not used)
thresh indicates the rate at which the FDR procedure is controlled. (default 0.05)
sup indicates the correlation threshold to consider in each hypothesis test
test.method name of the method to be applied. "gaussian" assumes a gaussian law for the estimator. "t.test" implements a t.test for computing the p-value. (default "gaussian") .
proc.length specifies the length of the original processes using to construct the wave.cor.list
use.tanh logical. If FALSE take the atanh of the correlation values before applying the hypothesis test, in order to use the Fisher approximation

Details

Each hypothesis test is written as :

H_0 : "|correlation| <= sup"

H_1 : "|correlation| > sup"

Value

Object of class "Wave Adjacency matrix", basically, a list with the following components

d? Adjacency matrix for each scale of the wavelet decomposition
