A generic function to load data for statistical analysis.

load_data(
  bstr_data,
  atlas_filename = NULL,
  maskfile = NULL,
  hemi = "left",
  measure = "",
  smooth = 0,
  eddy = TRUE,
  roiids = NULL,
  roimeas = NULL,
  exclude_col
)

# S4 method for BstrData
load_data(bstr_data, roiids = NULL, roimeas = NULL, exclude_col)

# S4 method for BstrSBAData
load_data(bstr_data, atlas_filename, hemi, smooth)

# S4 method for BstrTBMData
load_data(bstr_data, atlas_filename, maskfile = NULL, smooth)

# S4 method for BstrDBAData
load_data(bstr_data, atlas_filename, maskfile = NULL, measure, smooth, eddy)

# S4 method for BstrROIData
load_data(bstr_data, roiids = NULL, roimeas = NULL, exclude_col)

Arguments

bstr_data: object of type BstrData()
atlas_filename: path name to the atlas
maskfile: path name to the mask file
hemi: chaaracter string denoting the brain hemisphere. Should either be "left" or "right" or "both".
measure: character specifying the brain imaging measure. If analyzing diffusion data, should be "FA".
smooth: numeric value denoting the smoothing level.
eddy: boolean for specifying if the diffusion images were eddy-current corrected or not.
roiids: numeric label identifier for the region of interest (ROI) type analysis.
roimeas: character string for the ROI measure. Should either be "gmthickness", "gmvolume", or "wmvolume".
exclude_col: character string for the column in demographics csv (contains 1 or 0 for each row) specifying the subjects to exclude. 1 denotes include, 0 denotes exclude.

For the most part, the user will never have to call this function directly. Instead the user should call load_bstr_data().
