NAME
vbvolregress - carry out linear regression in 1D and 4D data SYNOPSIS
vbvolregress <flag> ... DESCRIPTION
vbvolregress is part of the VoxBo suite of tools for brain image analysis. vbvolregress carries out linear regression, using an arbitrary combination of 1D and 4D variables. If only 1D variables are included, it's just a single regression. If a 34D dependent variable or at least one 4D independent variable is included, then a separate regression is carried out at each spatial location. vbvolregress optionally permutes the data, and can produce as output a statistical map, parameter estimate maps, and residuals. It will also carry out FDR thresholding if requested. To get a complete list of available flags, run the program with no arguments. AVAILABILITY
Pre-built VoxBo binaries are available for Linux, OSX, and Cygwin, and via the NeuroDebian project (neuro.debian.net) for Debian deriva- tives. CAVEATS
