function [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,varargin)
%[DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,varargin)
% Statistical inference on DVars component to identify corrupted scans.
%
%%%%INPUTS:
%
% V0: Can be (1) a string indicating the path to the
% nifti/cifti file (2) a numerical matrix of size IxT.
% Where I is number of voxels (I=Nx x Ny x Nz) and T is
% number of data-points.
%
% Following arguments are optional:
%
% 'TestMethod': Should be followed by 'Z' for Z-test and 'X2' for
% Chi^2 test [default:'X2'].
% e.g. [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,'TestMethod','X2')
%
% 'VarType': Method for robust estimate of variance. It can be either
% 'IQR' for full IQR or 'hIQR' for half-IQR.
% [default:'hIQR']
% e.g. [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,'VarType','IQR')
%
% 'MeanType': Method for robust estimate of expected value. The value
% should be a digit corresponding to the order of
% following methods [default:'median']:
% 'sig2bar','sig2median','median','sigbar2','xbar'.
% For example: MeanType=3 means the method to estimate
% robust expected value is empirical median.
% e.g. [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,'MeanType',3)
%
% 'TransPower': Power of transformation [default:1]
% e.g. [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,'TestMethod','X2','TransPower',1/3)
%
% 'RDVARS': By passing this arg, the function generates the
% relative DVARS (RDVARS). NB! this might take a while
% due to robust estimate of autocorrelation.
% e.g. [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,'RDVARS')
%
% 'verbose': Set to 1 if you need the log of runing code [default:1]
% e.g. [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(V0,'verbose',1)
%
% 'Norm' Intensity normalisation to a given scale.
% e.g.: [V,Stat]=DSEvars(V0,'Norm',100)
%
% 'Scale' Scale the intensity between the data-sets.
% e.g.: [V,Stat]=DSEvars(V0,'Scale',1/10)
%
%%%%OUTPUTS:
%
% DVARS: a vector of size 1xT-1 of classic DVARS measure
% Stat: a structure contains all the details of the statistical inference
% including the standardised DVARS, pvals and further summary stats.
%
%%%%NOTES:
% 1) It is recommended to only use time series of intra-cranial voxels as
% inclusding the extra-cranial may inflate the variance. You can use
% 'bet' in FSL package to remove the extra-cranial areas. The scripts
% automatically remove the zero/NaN voxels.
%
% 2) If the input is set to be a CIFTI file, you require Nifti_Util
% (provided in the directory). For input of CIFTI you require to
% addpath the FieldTrip toolbox from:
% http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/reference/ft_read_cifti
%
%
%
%%%%EXAMPLE:
%
% For iid case:
%
% I=4e4; T=1200; Y=randn(I,T);
% [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(Y,'VarType','hIQR','TestMethod','X2','TransPower',1/3);
% find(Stat.pvals<0.05./(T-1) & Stat.DeltapDvar>5) %print corrupted DVARS data-points
%
% For the case with simulated ouliers:
%
% I=4e4; T=1200;
% Y=randn(I,T);
% Idx_OL=randi(T);
% Y(:,Idx_OL)=Y(:,Idx_OL)+1;
% [DVARS,Stat]=DVARSCalc(Y,'VarType','hIQR','TestMethod','X2','TransPower',1/3);
% find(Stat.pvals<0.05./(T-1) & Stat.DeltapDvar>5) %print corrupted DVARS data-points
%
% To generate a binary regressor, where the significant DVARS data-points
% are 1 and the remaining data-points are 0 you can use DVARSCalc.m as
% below:
%
% PracticalSigThr = 5;
% idx = find(Stat.pvals<0.05./(T-1) & Stat.DeltapDvar>PracticalSigThr);
% DVARSreg = zeros(T0,1);
% DVARSreg(idx) = 1;
% DVARSreg(idx+1) = 1;
%
% Variable PracticalSigThr should be chosen manually for a study. For
% example in case of HCP, we found 5% is a reasonable threshold to
% identify the practically significant data-points. Note that pratically
% significant data-points are subset of statistically significant
% data-points.

% Median Absolute Deviation Intraclass Correlation Coefficient
%
% Impliments Median Absolute Deviation Correlation Coefficient, (as
% described in Shevlyakov & Smirnov (2011)), modified to be the
% intraclass version of correlation. The (non-intrasclass)
% estimate is
% r = ( mad(Sp)^2 - mad(Sm)^2 ) / ( mad(Sp)^2 + mad(Sm)^2 )
% where
% Sp = (x-m(x))/mad(x) + (y-m(y))/mad(y);
% Sm = (x-m(x))/mad(x) - (y-m(y))/mad(y);
% and m() is median and mad() is the median absolute deviation,
% mad(x) = m(abs(x-m(x)))
%
% For intraclass correlation we assume mad(x)=mad(y) and so the divisors
% cancel; further, we find a common estimate of the median mm=m([x,y])
% can compute Sp & Sm as:
% Sp = (x-mm) + (y-mm);
% Sm = (x-mm) - (y-mm);
