SYNOPSIS = "Fixel-based analysis using connectivity-based fixel enhancement and non-parametric permutation testing";
DESCRIPTION
+ "Unlike previous versions of this command, where a whole-brain tractogram file would be provided as input "
"in order to generate the fixel-fixel connectivity matrix and smooth fixel data, this version expects to be "
"provided with the directory path to a pre-calculated fixel-fixel connectivity matrix (likely generated using "
"the MRtrix3 command fixelconnectivity), and for the input fixel data to have already been smoothed (likely "
"using the MRtrix3 command fixelfilter)."
+ "Note that if the -mask option is used, the output fixel directory will still contain the same set of fixels as that "
"present in the input fixel template, in order to retain fixel correspondence. However a consequence of this is that "
"all fixels in the template will be initialy visible when the output fixel directory is loaded in mrview. Those fixels "
"outside the processing mask will immediately disappear from view as soon as any data-file-based fixel colouring or "
"thresholding is applied."
+ "For Connectivity-based Fixel Enhancement, use of the -nonstationarity option for empirical non-stationarity correction "
"is generally discouraged, unless the data are of exceptionally high quality. The intrinsic non-stationarity correction "
"that is applied by default (i.e. if the -cfe_legacy option is not used) provides superior statistical power in most scenarios."
+ Math::Stats::GLM::column_ones_description;
