Hi Matthew,
I have another question regarding the text file output of maximum cluster size. Very many of the values are zero, which I guess occurs when you permute and find no cluster.
Should I consider the zero values as part of the nut distribution I form, or should I build the null distribution only from the non-zero clusters found? This will obviously change the position of the 95th percentile, so just thought I’d check!
Cheers,
Donal
