[pymvpa] GroupClusterThreshold data / attributes

Hi,
I am sorry, my python is bit rusty by now, and I don't have a data set
ready to give you an reproducible example. However I think that once you
train your GroupClusterThreshold object, then the all cluster sizes from
your bootstraps should be in _null_cluster_sizes attribute. Then your
p-value for your arbitrary cluster is just a it's percentile in that array.

You can also use methods get_cluster_pvals or _transform_to_pvals from the
GroupClusterThreshold class to do it for you. Somehow :)
Actual code that computes the p-values for clusters is:
cluster_probs_raw = _transform_to_pvals( area, self
._null_cluster_sizes.astype('float'))
so MAYBE this will work for you
cluster_probs_raw = GroupClusterThreshold._transform_to_pvals(
np.array([40. 60, 80]), thr._null_cluster_sizes.astype('float'))
