RE: One sample or t-test
Hi Selma, 

The threshold for the one-sample t-test is applied to the mean connectivity value. 

So if you are considering functional connectivity estimated with Pearson correlation, a threshold of 0.3 will consider clusters/components of connections for any connections for which the mean connectivity value exceeds 0.3. 

The threshold can thus be used to set a minimum meaningful connectivity value. There is no right or wrong threshold. 

I hope that helps. 

Andrew

Hi,

thanks for elaborating on this topic. What is not clear to me is what the threshold means in a one-sample test? Why is that in the range around the mean connectivity and how would you justify any choice of threshold? I have one group and only want to assess which values are different from zero, corrected for multiple testing. Without NBS I would do a one-sample t-test for every edge over subjects and apply FDR correction, now I want to do the equivalent with NBS.

Many thanks,
Selma
