Variable Latencies of Noisy Signals: Estimation and Testing in Brain Potential Data
含噪信号的可变潜伏期:脑电位数据的估计与检验
The electric response of the brain related to some event, i.e. stimulus, is usually estimated by repeated stimulation and subsequent averaging of the activity recorded time-locked to the stimulus. The present paper deals with the model that the single responses may have varying latency, i.e. arrival time, after stimulus onset. For estimating the single latencies, a maximum likelihood approach employing iterative Fisher-scoring is developed. Further a statistic for testing on…
