[FieldTrip] Linearly indexed data for mvar connectivity

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Dear Tony,

I don't think that these immediate plans exist. I wasn't aware of the fact that ft_freqanalysis_mvar does not swallow the linearly indexed combinations. We may want to look into that. Could you post a bug on bugzilla for this? The fact that it is not supported for dtf and pdc actually has a reason, which is related to the fact that these measures are normalized with respect to the total inflow/outflow for a given channel, where the MVAR-model explicitly should be based on the multivariate decomposition (i.e. where multi means all channels included). The functionality of ft_mvaranalysis with cfg.channelcmb fits a separate mvar-model for each channel pair.

Does this make sense?

Best wishes,
Jan-Mathijs

Linearly indexed data such as specific channel pairs (instead of all possible channel pair combinations) seems to work fine for the ft_mvaranalysis function but fails for the ft_freqanalysis_mvar function and is not fully implemented in the ft_connectivity_dtf and _pdc functions. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated.
