Abstract

In neuroimaging studies, the type 1 error attributable to the number of independent regional comparisons should be considered. Implemented algorithms approximate the type 1 errors assuming Gaussian or Gaussian-based distribution, are typically for a contiguous/convex volume, and are for conventional hypothesis related to at least one or more clusters of certain size/height. As a complement, a Monte-Carlo algorithm is proposed to calculate the type 1 error of various types of hypotheses a researcher might have, and is applicable to Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions over non-contiguous, non-convex and convoluted search volume.
