ERP - Significance Analysis of Event-Related Potentials Data
Functions for signal detection and identification designed
for Event-Related Potentials (ERP) data in a linear model
framework. The functional F-test proposed in Causeur, Sheu,
Perthame, Rufini (2018, submitted) for analysis of variance
issues in ERP designs is implemented for signal detection
(tests for mean difference among groups of curves in One-way
ANOVA designs for example). Once an experimental effect is
declared significant, identification of significant intervals
is achieved by the multiple testing procedures reviewed and
compared in Sheu, Perthame, Lee and Causeur (2016,
<DOI:10.1214/15-AOAS888>). Some of the methods gathered in the
package are the classical FDR- and FWER-controlling procedures,
also available using function p.adjust. The package also
implements the Guthrie-Buchwald procedure (Guthrie and
Buchwald, 1991 <DOI:10.1111/j.1469-8986.1991.tb00417.x>), which
accounts for the auto-correlation among t-tests to control
erroneous detection of short intervals. The Adaptive
Factor-Adjustment method is an extension of the method
described in Causeur, Chu, Hsieh and Sheu (2012,
<DOI:10.3758/s13428-012-0230-0>). It assumes a factor model for
the correlation among tests and combines adaptively the
estimation of the signal and the updating of the dependence
modelling (see Sheu et al., 2016, <DOI:10.1214/15-AOAS888> for
further details).
