Bayesian model inversion of the beta-binomial model in Java
16/11/2011 — The beta-binomial model enables the performance evaluation of a classification algorithm that is used in a hierarchical context. This archive contains a Java implementation of a Metropolis-Hastings/Gibbs sampling scheme. The algorithm is asymptotically exact and about 10 times faster than an equivalent MATLAB implementation.

26/04/2011 — The latest release of the MVPA framework for MATLAB provides a generic environment for the application of statistical methods to high-dimensional datasets, such as those obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The framework is highly extensible and supports tight integration with LIBSVM, the Princeton MVPA toolbox, and Sun Grid Engine for use on high-performance compute clusters running Linux. It is published under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

22/10/2010 — The average accuracy obtained on individual cross-validation folds is a problematic measure of generalization performance. First, it makes statistical inference difficult. Second, it leads to an optimistic estimate when a biased classifier is tested on an imbalanced dataset. Both problems can be overcome by replacing the conventional point estimate of accuracy by an estimate of the posterior distribution of the balanced accuracy. The archive below contains a set of MATLAB functions to estimate the posterior distribution of the balanced accuracy and compute its associated statistics. For details, see Brodersen et al. (2010b) ICPR.

Estimating a smooth precision-recall curve
20/06/2010 — The precision-recall curve (PRC) has become a widespread conceptual tool for assessing classification performance. The curve relates the positive predictive value of a classifier to its true positive rate and provides a useful alternative to the well-known receiver operating characteristic (ROC). A smooth estimate of the PRC can be computed on the basis of a simple distributional assumption about the underlying decision values. The archive below contains a MATLAB implementation of this approach. For details, see Brodersen et al. (2010a) ICPR.

Dataset for model-based feature construction
14/04/2010 — Model-based feature construction is a multivariate-decoding approach that addresses the twin challenges of feature selection and biological interpretability by (i) inverting a dynamic systems model of neurophysiological data in a trial-by-trial fashion; (ii) training and testing a discriminative classifier on a feature space derived from the trial-wise model parameter estimates; and (iii) reconstructing how informative each model parameter was in separating the cognitive states of interest. The archive below contains the somatosensory dataset used for illustrating this approach in Brodersen et al. (2011) NeuroImage.

Decoding cognitive states from fMRI: a simple example
19/02/2010 — Contemporary analysis pipelines for decoding brain states based on fMRI typically comprise thousands of lines of code. In contrast, this example illustrates the core principles behind fMRI classification in just about two screens full of MATLAB code. The example contains a fully preprocessed single-subject dataset. The first analysis performs a simple classification analysis, resulting in a classification accuracy. The second analysis creates a probabilistic map of feature importance. Updated on 27/02/2012.
