[pymvpa] correlation between 2 matrices

[David Soto]

thanks that is useful, however to clarify I meant it to be in the context of a representational similarity analyses 
so would this solution be similar option 7 in here ? http://www.pymvpa.org/generated/mvpa2.measures.rsa.pdist.html 
how about if I wanted to use a euclidean distance? not sure it could handle 2 spatio-temporal matrices

If I understand your query correctly, I think numpy could do it, first by flattening the matrices to simple vectors, and then calculating the correlation between those, e.g. 

np.corrcoef(np.array(matrix1).flatten(), np.array(matrix2).flatten()) 

... assuming you're using the matrix datatype. If they are vanilla 2D arrays, then you shouldn't need to recast: 


np.corrcoef(matrix1.flatten(), matrix2.flatten()) 

best, 

Brian

hi, 

I wonder whether PyMVPA can compute a similarity index (correlation) between two 2D matrices, each comprised of 12 seconds & 300 voxels? 

thanks!
