minccmp - compare one or more minc file using comparator operators

       Andrew Janke

-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

       -similarity
              Calculate the confusion matrix, assuming that the volume values  represent  a  discrete  class  of
              possible  values.  The  maximum  label  value  is  currently  limited to ten (10). Prints the Dice
              similarity statistic as well as specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and kappa for each  class  and
              for the overall volumes.

minccmp  will  calculate  simple  statistical  measures  between  two minc files or more by comparing all
       subsequent files to the first.  The results for each subsequent 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.

-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_kbsize
              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 .

-help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

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

       minccmp - compare one or more minc file using comparator operators

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

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

-floormin
              A lower bound for ranges of data to include in statistic calculations.

       -ceilmax
              An upper bound for ranges of data to include in statistic calculations.

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

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