Problems with group comparisons using non parametric statistics

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I have used EEGLABs function 'spectopo' to extract the power values and later found the band specific values. Now, I'm interested in using nonparametric statistics to test for significance.
What I'm trying to do is to divide the sets (15 sets x 19 channels) in to three groups and do the comparisons between the mean value of the power in each electrode like group 1 vs group 2, group 2 vs group 3 and so on. Afterwards, I'm trying to find the significant p-values. The only problem is that I can't get it to work probably because it either saying that the index exceeds the matrix dimentions or that it compares the values for 1 electrode (p-values are then 1).
I hope that someone can help.
Script:
load('Powerinalpha.mat');
for freqband = 1:2 switch freqb pow = Alpha; pow = Beta; end
pvalue = 0.05;
for session = 1:2
matr = [];
if session==1
matr = pow(1:5,:,:);
else
matr = dataset(6:10,:,:);
end
for channel = 1:21
Pre = datamat(:,:,channel);
Post = datamat(:,:,channel);
[p, h, stats] = signrank(squeeze(Post), squeeze(Pre), 'alpha', pcrit);
Values.sig(freqb,session,channel) = h;
Values.pval(freqb,session,channel) = p;
Values.signedrank(freqb,session,channel) = stats.signedrank;
end
nonpara.channelsig{freqband,session} = find(Values.pval(freqband,session,:)<pcrit);
end
end
