Hi @AnriiGegliuk and @oesteban
Here is some code which attempts to calculate the probability that each DVARS value comes from artefact free scans. The DVARS metric is assumed to follow a chi^2 distribution and the process of calculating parameters for the null distribution is found in this paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811917311229?via%3Dihub#appsecE
Unfortunately the final chi^2 metrics calculated are far too high for all DVARS in test scans (leading to all values being statistically significant) - I have tried to troubleshoot by using different methods to calculate the null distribution variance and null distribution mean, however this has not worked.
I'll keep working on it but any suggestions would be great!
