Hi Panos,

also the LME tools (matlab) have tools for  FDR correction:

lme_mass_FDR (Original Benjamini and Hochberg FDR procedure)

lme_mass_FDR2 (A more powerful two-stage FDR procedure:

"Adaptive Linear Step-up Procedures that control the False
Discovery Rate" Benjamini, Krieger, Yekutieli )


Best, Martin

Hi FS community,

I was wondering if anyone had a chance to give this a look.

Thanks in advance,

Hi FS community,

I am doing a cortical thickness comparison between a diseased and a
healthy group. After running the mri_glmfit command for both hemispheres,
I project the uncorrected significance map and there are a number of
significant clusters showing (if you consider the p value to be at most
0.05). However, instead of using the clusterwise Correction for Multiple
Comparisons, I wanted to use FDR to see what the results would look like,
and I had a few questions regarding the whole process:

1) Are Tksurfer and QDEC the only tools in FS that I can apply the FDR
correction
with, or are there any other ways?

2) In Tksurfer, I tried using the "Set Threshold Using FDR" tool, and when
I set the rate from 0.88 to 0.87 it bumps up the minimum threshold from
1.37 to 3.24 hence resulting in no significant clusters for rates less
than 0.88. Does that sound normal?

Thanks in advance!
Panos
