[Eeglablist] Data change when updating eeglab from version 10 to 12

Sun Sep 15 13:23:36 PDT 2013

Dear Llana,

this is because the permutation statistics use different random permutation every time.
The result should be similar but not identical.
Best,

Arno

I have checked with the tutorial STUDY, and the results with parametric statistics (EEGLAB) are strictly identical from one call to the next when plotting channel ERSP time-frequency images or channel ERSP scalp topographies. Also since 2010, we have a battery of independent test that check EEGLAB statistics agains the Matlab statistics toolbox. After adding Fieldtrip statistics to the EEGLAB graphic interface  last year, we also implemented the same tests for these new functions (which is how we discovered a bug in Anova Fieldtrip statistics by the way - currently in the process of being fixed).

After further testings, i have similar issues with EEGLAB version 12 and 11.05.5.4b : the stats maps (for condition comparaison in ERSP / ITC analysis) are changing each time i replot whatever stats option i use. Also, while ERP's topographics map are not changing, the significant channels (when comparing the two conditions) are changing each time i replot.
