Workbench Command is a set of command-line tools that can be used to perform simple and complex operations within Connectome Workbench.
WEIGHTED SPATIAL STATISTICS ON A METRIC FILE
wb_command -metric-weighted-stats
<metric-in> - the input metric
[-area-surface] - use vertex areas as weights
<area-surface> - the surface to use for vertex areas
[-weight-metric] - use weights from a metric file
<weight-metric> - metric file containing the weights
[-column] - only display output for one column
<column> - the column number or name
[-roi] - only consider data inside an roi
<roi-metric> - the roi, as a metric file
[-match-maps] - each column of input uses the corresponding column
from the roi file
[-mean] - compute weighted mean
[-stdev] - compute weighted standard deviation
[-sample] - estimate population stdev from the sample
[-percentile] - compute weighted percentile
<percent> - the percentile to find, must be between 0 and 100
[-sum] - compute weighted sum
[-show-map-name] - print map index and name before each output
For each column of the input, a line of text is printed, resulting from
the specified operation. You must specify exactly one of -area-surface
or -weight-metric. Use -column to only give output for a single column.
If the -roi option is used without -match-maps, then each line will
contain as many numbers as there are maps in the ROI file, separated by
tab characters. Exactly one of -mean, -stdev, -percentile or -sum must
be specified.
Using -sum with -area-surface (or -weight-metric with a metric containing
similar data) is equivalent to integrating with respect to surface area.
For example, if you want to find the surface area within an roi, do this:
$ wb_command -metric-weighted-stats roi.func.gii -sum -area-surface
midthickness.surf.gii
