Local Maxima and the Expected Euler Characteristic of Excursion Sets of χ 2, F and t Fields

Keith J. Worsley·1994·Advances in Applied Probability

Abstract

The maximum of a Gaussian random field was used by Worsley et al. (1992) to test for activation at an unknown point in positron emission tomography images of blood flow in the human brain. The Euler characteristic of excursion sets was used as an estimator of the number of regions of activation. The expected Euler characteristic of excursion sets of stationary Gaussian random fields has been derived by Adler and Hasofer (1976) and Adler (1981). In this paper we extend the results of Adler (1981) toχ2,Fandtfields. The theory is applied to some three-dimensional images of cerebral blood flow from a study on pain perception.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
