[Maris, E.G.G. (Eric)]

Hi Guillaume,

Following Maris et al. 2007 paper about "Nonparametric testing of coherence difference" I was hesitating regarding the number of degrees of freedom to use in the Z-coherence transform when coherence is calculated over N trials by averaging across M non-overlapping windows in each of them. Is the df equals to N or N*M then?

I am a little confused since in Fieldtrip, this is even 2*N that appears to be used: http://fieldtrip.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/statfun/ft_statfun_indepsamplesZcoh.m


The degrees of freedom is equal to the number of tapers, and because you effectively use non-overlapping tapers (every window corresponds to one taper), your degrees of freedom is N*M.

best,
Eric Maris









Thanks for your time.

Best,

Guillaume
