  12. Summary ... • We put in our model regressors (or covariates) that represent how we think the signal is varying (of interest and of no interest alike) • Coefficients (=parameters) are estimated using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) or Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator. • These estimated parameters (the “betas”) depend on the scaling of the regressors. • The residuals, their sum of squares and the resulting tests (t,F), do not depend on the scaling of the regressors.

  13. Plan • Make sure we all know about the estimation (fitting) part .... • Make sure we understand t and F tests • A bad model ... And a better one • Correlation in our model : do we mind ? • A (nearly) real example

  20. True signal and observed signal (---) Model (green, pic at 6sec) TRUE signal (blue, pic at 3sec) Fitting (b1 = 0.2, mean = 0.11) Residual(still contains some signal) => Test for the green regressor not significant A bad model ...

  21. A bad model ... b1= 0.22 b2= 0.11 Residual Variance = 0.3 P(Y|b1= 0) => p-value = 0.1 (t-test) P(Y|b1= 0) => p-value = 0.2 (F-test) = + Y X b e

  22. True signal + observed signal Model (green and red) and true signal (blue ---) Red regressor : temporal derivative of the green regressor Global fit (blue) and partial fit (green & red) Adjusted and fitted signal Residual(a smaller variance) => t-test of the green regressor significant => F-test very significant => t-test of the red regressor very significant A « better » model ...

  23. A better model ... b1= 0.22 b2= 2.15 b3= 0.11 Residual Var = 0.2 P(Y|b1= 0) p-value = 0.07 (t-test) P(Y|b1= 0, b2= 0) p-value = 0.000001 (F-test) = + Y X b e

  24. Flexible models :Fourier Transform Basis

  25. Flexible models : Gamma Basis

  26. Summary ... (2) • The residuals should be looked at ...(non random structure ?) • We rather test flexible models if there is little a priori information, and precise ones with a lot a priori information • In general, use the F-tests to look for an overall effect, then look at the betas or the adjusted data to characterise the response shape • Interpreting the test on a single parameter (one regressor) can be difficult: cf the delay or magnitude situation

  27. Plan • Make sure we all know about the estimation (fitting) part .... • Make sure we understand t and F tests • A bad model ... And a better one • Correlation in our model : do we mind ? • A (nearly) real example ?

  28. Model (green and red) Fit (blue : global fit) Residual Correlation between regressors True signal

  29. Correlation between regressors b1= 0.79 b2= 0.85 b3 = 0.06 Residual var. = 0.3 P(Y|b1= 0) p-value = 0.08 (t-test) P(Y|b2= 0) p-value = 0.07 (t-test) P(Y|b1= 0, b2= 0) p-value = 0.002 (F-test) = + Y X b e

  30. Model (green and red) red regressor has been orthogonalised with respect to the green one  remove everything that correlates with the green regressor Fit Residual Correlation between regressors - 2 true signal

  32. 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 Design orthogonality : « explore design » Black = completely correlated White = completely orthogonal Corr(1,1) Corr(1,2) Beware: when there are more than 2 regressors (C1,C2,C3,...), you may think that there is little correlation (light grey) between them, but C1 + C2 + C3 may be correlated with C4 + C5

  33. Xb Y C2 C1 e Xb Space of X C2 C1 C2 Xb C2^ LC1^ C1 LC2 LC2 : test of C2 in the implicit ^ model LC1^ : test of C1 in the explicit ^ model ^ Implicit or explicit (^)decorrelation (or orthogonalisation) This GENERALISES when testing several regressors (F tests) See Andrade et al., NeuroImage, 1999

  34. ^ b ? 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 X = Y = Xb + e Mean Cond 1 Cond 2 “completely” correlated ... Mean = C1+C2 C2 C1 Parameters are not unique in general ! Some contrasts have no meaning: NON ESTIMABLE Example here : c’ = [1 0 0] is not estimable ( = no specific information in the first regressor); c’ = [1 -1 0] is estimable;

  35. Summary ... (3) • We implicitly test for an additional effect only, so we may miss the signal if there is some correlation in the model • Orthogonalisation is not generally needed - parameters and test on the changed regressor don’t change • It is always simpler (if possible!) to have orthogonal regressors • In case of correlation, use F-tests to see the overall significance. There is generally no way to decide to which regressor the « common » part should be attributed to • In case of correlation and if you need to orthogonolise a part of the design matrix, there is no need to re-fit a new model: change the contrast

  36. Plan • Make sure we all know about the estimation (fitting) part .... • Make sure we understand t and F tests • A bad model ... And a better one • Correlation in our model : do we mind ? • A (nearly) real example

  37. C1 V A C1 C2 C3 V C2 C3 C1 C2 A C3 A real example   (almost !) Experimental Design Design Matrix Factorial design with 2 factors : modality and category 2 levels for modality (eg Visual/Auditory) 3 levels for category (eg 3 categories of words)

  38. Asking ourselves some questions ... V A C1 C2 C3 2 ways : 1- write a contrast c and test c’b = 0 2- select columns of X for the model under the null hypothesis. Test C1 > C2 : c = [ 0 0 1 -1 0 0 ] Test V > A : c = [ 1 -1 0 0 0 0 ] Test the modality factor : c = ? Test the category factor : c = ? Test the interaction MxC ? • Design Matrix not orthogonal • Many contrasts are non estimable • Interactions MxC are not modelled

  39. Modelling the interactions

  40. Asking ourselves some questions ... C1 C1 C2 C2 C3 C3 Test C1 > C2 : c = [ 1 1 -1 -1 0 0 0] Test V > A : c = [ 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 0] Test the differences between categories : [ 1 1 -1 -1 0 0 0] c = [ 0 0 1 1 -1 -1 0] V A V A V A Test everything in the category factor , leave out modality : [ 1 1 0 0 0 0 0] c = [ 0 0 1 1 0 0 0] [ 0 0 0 0 1 1 0] Test the interaction MxC : [ 1 -1 -1 1 0 0 0] c = [ 0 0 1 -1 -1 1 0] [ 1 -1 0 0 -1 1 0] • Design Matrix orthogonal • All contrasts are estimable • Interactions MxC modelled • If no interaction ... ? Model too “big”

  41. Asking ourselves some questions ... With a more flexible model C1 C1 C2 C2 C3 C3 V A V A V A Test C1 > C2 ? Test C1 different from C2 ? from c = [ 1 1 -1 -1 0 0 0] to c = [ 1 0 1 0 -1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0] [ 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0] becomes an F test! Test V > A ? c = [ 1 0 -1 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 -1 0 0] is possible, but is OK only if the regressors coding for the delay are all equal
