Consider variability in effects between brain areas #5

Open JackEdTaylor opened 1 year ago

JackEdTaylor commented 1 year ago

When you look at group differences between metrics for different brain areas (e.g., the violin plots in code/Data_exploration.ipynb), maybe also look at the distribution of differences. For example, you could calculate, for each region, the difference between the mean in groups 1 and 2, and then plot a histogram of these differences to see whether all brain areas show effects in the same direction (e.g., less cortical thickness in patients), or the story is more mixed, with effects overall in that direction but some brain regions showing large effects in the opposite direction.

I tried to plot the differences with a histogram. However, I am not sure how to properly display the brain areas since there are 308 regions. Tried to adjust the fig size already, still the visualization doesn't seem to be clear.
