[FieldTrip] Query regarding stat.prob and permutation tests

[cxd425 at student.bham.ac.uk]

Hi FieldTrip community,

I hope you're doing well.

I was just curious how the p-values are computed at the first level - I couldn't find any documentation explaining the behaviour of stat.prob when cfg.computeprob is set to true or false. When I set computeprob = false, the resulting stat object still contains p-values. Could it be that when cfg.computeprob = true, the p-values at the first level are computed using a permutation test, whereas when it's set to false, a simpler non-permutation statistical test (e.g., a two-sample t-test) is used instead?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Cihan
