Detailed Description

nifti1 intent codes, to describe intended meaning of dataset contents


Define Documentation

#define NIFTI_FIRST_STATCODE   2

Smallest intent_code that indicates a statistic.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_BETA   7

[C2, chap 25] Beta distribution (2 params): p1=a, p2=b. Density(x) proportional to x^(a-1) * (1-x)^(b-1).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_BINOM   8

[U, chap 3] Binomial distribution (2 params): p1 = number of trials, p2 = probability per trial. Prob(x) = (p1 choose x) * p2^x * (1-p2)^(p1-x), for x=0,1,...,p1.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_CHI   19

[C1, chap 18] Chi distribution (1 param): p1 = DOF. Density(x) proportional to x^(p1-1) * exp(-x^2/2) for x > 0. p1 = 1 = 'half normal' distribution p1 = 2 = Rayleigh distribution p1 = 3 = Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_CHISQ   6

[C1, chap 18] Chi-squared (1 param): p1 = DOF. Density(x) proportional to exp(-x/2) * x^(p1/2-1).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_CHISQ_NONC   13

[C2, chap 29] Noncentral chi-squared statistic (2 params): p1 = DOF, p2 = noncentrality parameter.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_DIMLESS   1011

Dimensionless value - no params - although, as in _ESTIMATE the name of the parameter may be stored in intent_name.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_DISPVECT   1006

To signify that the vector value at each voxel is to be taken as a displacement field or vector:

#define NIFTI_INTENT_ESTIMATE   1001

To signify that the value at each voxel is an estimate of some parameter, set intent_code = NIFTI_INTENT_ESTIMATE. The name of the parameter may be stored in intent_name.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_EXTVAL   21

[C2, chap 22] Extreme value type I (2 params): p1 = location, p2 = scale cdf(x) = exp(-exp(-(x-p1)/p2)).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_FTEST   4

[C2, chap 27] Fisher F statistic (2 params): p1 = numerator DOF, p2 = denominator DOF.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_FTEST_NONC   12

[C2, chap 30] Noncentral F statistic (3 params): p1 = numerator DOF, p2 = denominator DOF, p3 = numerator noncentrality parameter.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_GAMMA   9

[C1, chap 17] Gamma distribution (2 params): p1 = shape, p2 = scale. Density(x) proportional to x^(p1-1) * exp(-p2*x).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_GENMATRIX   1004

To store an M x N matrix at each voxel:

#define NIFTI_INTENT_INVGAUSS   20

[C1, chap 15] Inverse Gaussian (2 params): p1 = mu, p2 = lambda Density(x) proportional to exp(-p2*(x-p1)^2/(2*p1^2*x)) / x^3 for x > 0.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_LABEL   1002

To signify that the value at each voxel is an index into some set of labels, set intent_code = NIFTI_INTENT_LABEL. The filename with the labels may stored in aux_file.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_LAPLACE   15

[C2, chap 24] Laplace distribution (2 params): p1 = location, p2 = scale. Density(x) proportional to exp(-abs(x-p1)/p2).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_LOG10PVAL   24

Data is log10(p-value) (no params). To be safe, a program should compute p = pow(10.,-abs(this_value)). The nifti_stats.c library returns this_value as positive, so that this_value = -log10(p).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_LOGISTIC   14

[C2, chap 23] Logistic distribution (2 params): p1 = location, p2 = scale. Density(x) proportional to sech^2((x-p1)/(2*p2)).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_LOGPVAL   23

Data is ln(p-value) (no params). To be safe, a program should compute p = exp(-abs(this_value)). The nifti_stats.c library returns this_value as positive, so that this_value = -log(p).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_NEURONAME   1003

To signify that the value at each voxel is an index into the NeuroNames labels set, set intent_code = NIFTI_INTENT_NEURONAME.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_NORMAL   11

[C1, chap 13] Normal distribution (2 params): p1 = mean, p2 = standard deviation.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_POINTSET   1008

To signify that the vector value at each voxel is really a spatial coordinate (e.g., the vertices or nodes of a surface mesh):

#define NIFTI_INTENT_POISSON   10

[U, chap 4] Poisson distribution (1 param): p1 = mean. Prob(x) = exp(-p1) * p1^x / x! , for x=0,1,2,....

#define NIFTI_INTENT_PVAL   22

Data is a 'p-value' (no params).

#define NIFTI_INTENT_QUATERNION   1010

To signify that the vector value at each voxel is a quaternion:

#define NIFTI_INTENT_SYMMATRIX   1005

To store an NxN symmetric matrix at each voxel:

#define NIFTI_INTENT_TRIANGLE   1009

To signify that the vector value at each voxel is really a triple of indexes (e.g., forming a triangle) from a pointset dataset:

#define NIFTI_INTENT_TTEST   3

[C2, chap 28] Student t statistic (1 param): p1 = DOF.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_TTEST_NONC   17

[C2, chap 31] Noncentral t statistic (2 params): p1 = DOF, p2 = noncentrality parameter.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_UNIFORM   16

[C2, chap 26] Uniform distribution: p1 = lower end, p2 = upper end.

#define NIFTI_INTENT_WEIBULL   18

#define NIFTI_INTENT_ZSCORE   5

[C1, chap 13] Standard normal (0 params): Density = N(0,1).

#define NIFTI_LAST_STATCODE   24

Largest intent_code that indicates a statistic.
