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). De-
	    fault is 4 MB.

     -check_dimensions
	    Check that all input files have matching sampling  in  world  dimen-
	    sions (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	calcula-
	    tions.

     -ceil max
	    An	upper  bound for ranges of data to include in statistic calcula-
	    tions.

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

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

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

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

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

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