This wiki page explains the format of the analysis info excel file.

Please use the following format / syntax:

1st column - Type of Analysis:

  • 'M':

    • Standard ALE / Main Effect
  • 'P':

    • probabilistic / subsampled / CV'd ALE
    • Need to specify the desired N after the P, e.g. P17
  • 'C':

    • Standard contrast (this line and the following are contrasted against each other)
    • If the respective main effects in the two lines [e.g. 3 and 4] are not yet computed, they will be evaluated
  • 'B':

    • Balanced contrast
    • Both analysis will be based on the same N
    • Option to specify the desired N after the B, e.g. B17. If no N is provided N will be equal to the smaller analysis N - 2 or the mean between the smaller analysis N and 17 depending on which is smaller.
  • 'Cluster':

    • Hierarchical MA clustering as performed here: Reference.

2nd column - Name of the Analysis:

  • Ideally avoid spaces and non file-name characters
  • When (re-) entering a title as part of a contrast, please keep naming/spelling consistent otherwise the “old” main effect is not recognized
  • Names for seperate analyses need to be distinctly different. Otherwise the program will think the analysis was already run and conclude prematurely

3rd column onwards - Tags:

Tags are used to run subanalysis of an larger overall dataset (e.g. only include experiments that use a certain version of a task). The tags are used following a simple logic:

  • +ALL -> Include the entire set of experiments in that matfile
  • +Tag -> Include only those experiments that have the respective label
  • +Tag1 +Tag2 -> Conjunction, includes only experiments that have both labels
  • +Tag1 +Tag2 ? -> Logical ‘OR’, includes experiments that have either label
  • -Tag -> Exclude experiments that have the respective label
