clusterrandomization

[Olga Sysoeva]

Thank you very much for the help.

I continue my succes with Clasterrandomization analysis on within-subject
disign.
I applied clasterrandomization to compare two condition. I mostly use the
settings
from the tutorial (both cfg.alphathres =0.05 and cfg.alpha=0.05) and got
positive and negative clusters
 (both clusrand.posclusters and clusrand.negclusters not empty). But when I
look for the pval for neg cluster
(which is only one, size 8) it appeared to be 0.51. It is bigger than our
threshold (0.05). Why it is mark as
significant cluster than (clusrand.negclusterlabelmat =1 for 8 elements)?
Could somebody comment on it?

 Best Regards,
Olga.
