Add MAPBOT algorithm, as described in Yuan et al. (2017).

Here is my understanding of the method:

MAPBOT uses both the reported foci for studies, as well as associated term weights. Here are the steps:

  1. For each voxel in the mask, identify studies in dataset corresponding to that voxel. Selection criteria can be either based on a distance threshold (e.g., all studies with foci within 5mm of voxel) or based on a minimum number of studies (e.g., the 50 studies reporting foci closest to the voxel).
  2. For each voxel, compute average frequency of each term across selected studies. This results in an n_voxels X n_terms frequency matrix F.
  3. Compute n_voxels X n_voxels value matrix V:
    • D = (F.T F) ones(F)
    • V = F * D^-.5
  4. Perform non-negative matrix factorization on value matrix.
