nimare.transforms.samplevar_dataset_to_varcope

samplevar_dataset_to_varcope(samplevar_dataset, sample_size)

Convert “sample variance of the dataset” to “sampling variance”.

Added in version 0.0.3.

Parameters:

• samplevar_dataset (array_like) – Sample variance of the dataset (i.e., variance of the individual observations in a single sample). Can be calculated with np.var.

• sample_size (int) – Sample size

Returns:

varcope – Sampling variance of the parameter (i.e., variance of sampling distribution for the parameter).

Return type:

array_like

Notes

Sampling variance is sample variance divided by sample size.
