On Small Sample Experiments in Neuro-Imaging
Bok av Cyril Goutte
Technical Report from the year 1998 in the subject Statistics, grade: 1.0, Technical University of Denmark (Institute for Mathematical Modeling), language: English, abstract: Most human brain imaging experiments involve a number of subjects that is unusually low by accepted statistical standards. Although there are a number of practical reasons for using small samples in neuroimaging we need to face the question regarding whether results obtained with only a few subjects will generalise to a larger population. In this contribution we address this issue using a Bayesian framework, derive confidence intervals for small samples experiments, and discuss the issue of the prior.
