Summary

False discovery rate (FDR) offers a more powerful and consistent approach for correcting multiple comparisons in multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) neuroimaging studies compared to Bonferroni correction.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Statistical Analysis

Background:

  • Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an emerging non-invasive functional neuroimaging technique.
  • Multichannel NIRS allows simultaneous measurements across numerous channels, increasing the risk of Type I errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the False Discovery Rate (FDR) approach for multiplicity correction in multichannel NIRS.
  • To compare the efficacy of FDR against the traditional Bonferroni correction.

Main Methods:

  • Examination of FDR using simulated and real NIRS data.
  • Comparison of statistical power and robustness between FDR and Bonferroni correction across varying channel counts.

Main Results:

  • FDR provides a more objective, powerful, and consistent measure of Type I error than Bonferroni correction.
  • FDR yielded 52% more power than Bonferroni correction in a 172-channel NIRS study.
  • FDR demonstrated greater robustness against variations in the number of channels.

Conclusions:

  • FDR is a superior method for multiplicity correction in multichannel NIRS, balancing power and specificity effectively.
  • FDR circumvents the subjectivity and limitations associated with Bonferroni correction in neuroimaging.
