Hi,everyone
I used pycrostates for microstate analysis and extracted microstates from a group of subjects. I can obtain the GEV of each subject’s microstate template, but group analysis requires me to cluster each subject’s microstate template again to obtain the overall microstate template and GEV of the overall microstate template.
My question is:
1.How should I calculate GEV and report it in the literature?
2.If I take the average of df data, my GEV may only be 40%. How can I improve it?
Thank you for your help！！
Hey @SongLin99
Usually, the global explained variance (GEV) values reported in the literature are the ones computed during clustering. In Pycrostates, this value in stored in the GEV_ attribute after using the .fit() method.
