MINCCMP(1)		       MINC User's Guide		    MINCCMP(1)

NAME
       minccmp - compare one or more minc file using comparator operators

SYNOPSIS
       minccmp [<options>] <in1.mnc> <in2.mnc> [<inn.mnc> ...]

DESCRIPTION
       minccmp	will  calculate	 simple	 statistical measures between two minc
       files or more by comparing all subsequent  files	 to  the  first.   The
       results for each subseqent file are then returned in order.  By default
       all statistics are calculated. If specifitc  statistics	are  requested
       via  a  command-line  option,  then  only  the requested statistics are
       printed.

       A very useful feature of this program is the ability  to	 restrict  the
       set  of	voxels	included  in  the  statistic  calculation,  either  by
       restricting the range of included values (-floor, -ceil or -range),  or
       by using a mask file (-mask) with a restricted range.

       The  comparison	statistics  available in minccmp are given below. Note
       that two of these (-xcorr and -zscore) are a very  close	 approximation
       to what is used in minctracc.

OPTIONS
       Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they
       are unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line.

General options
       -clobber
	      Overwrite an existing file.

       -noclobber
	      Don't overwrite an existing file (default).

       -debug Dump a lot of extra information (for when things go haywire).

       -verbose
	      Print out extra information (more than the default).

       -quiet Print out only the requested numbers

       -max_buffer_size_in_kb size
	      Specify the maximum size of the internal	buffers	 (in  kbytes).
	      Default is 4 MB.

       -check_dimensions
	      Check  that  all	input  files  have  matching sampling in world
	      dimensions (default).

       -nocheck_dimensions
	      Ignore any differences in world dimensions  sampling  for	 input
	      files .

Volume range options
       -floor min
	      A	 lower bound for ranges of data to include in statistic calcu‐
	      lations.

       -ceil max
	      An upper bound for ranges of data to include in statistic calcu‐
	      lations.

       -range min,max
	      A	 lower	and  upper  bound for the ranges of data to include in
	      statistics.

       -mask filename.mnc
	      Name of file to be used for masking data included	 in  statistic
	      calculations.

Basic statistics
       -all   Compute all statistical measures. This is the default.

       -ssq   Print the Sum Squared Difference between two input files
		 SSQ = Sum( (A-B)^2 )

       -rmse  Print the Root Mean Squared Error between two input files
		 RMSE = sqrt( 1/n * Sum((A-B)^2))

       -xcorr Print the Cross Correlation between two input files
		 XCORR = Sum((A*B)^2) / (sqrt(Sum(A^2)) * sqrt(Sum(B^2))

       -zscore
	      Print the z-score difference between two input files
		 ZSCORE = Sum( |((A - mean(A)) / stdev(A)) -
				((B - mean(B)) / stdev(B))| ) / n

Generic options for all commands:
       -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

       -version
	      Print the program's version number and exit.
