BCI4eval evaluates a BCI-result for two and more classes Two classes are evaluated like in [1,2]: - It returns the classification error, the signal to noise ratio, the mutual information, as well as mean, standard error, within-class accuracy and standard deviation for both classes. - time course of these resulting parameters are supported More than two classes are evaluated with - Kappa coefficient including standard deviation - Accuracy Missing values can be encoded as NaN. X = bci4eval(tsd,trig,cl,pre,post,Fs) INPUT: tsd continous output for 2 classes, tsd must have size Nx1 size NxM for M-classes, for each row the largest value determines the assigned class trig trigger time points cl classlabels pre offset of trial start post offset of trial end Fs sampling rate; OUTPUT: X is a struct with various results 2-classes: X.MEAN1, XMEAN2: mean of both classes X.ERR error rate X.p_value significance level of paired t-test X.SNR signal-to-noise ratio X.I mutual information X.AUC area-under-the-(ROC) curve N(>2)-classes: X.KAP00 Cohen's kappa coefficient X.Ksd00 standard error of kappa coefficient X.ACC00 accuracy X.MEAN0 average output of non-active class X.MEAN1 average output of active class X.SNR signal-to-noise ratio for each class X.I mutual information for each class X.AUC area-under-the-(ROC) curve for each class X.r correlation coefficient (parametric) X.rankcorrelation rank correlation (non-parametric) X.I_Nykopp Nykopp's mutual information X.I_Wolpaw Wolpaws mutual information see also: SUMSKIPNAN, PLOTA, BCI3EVAL REFERENCES: [1] Schl�l A., Neuper C.
