Hi pals,

I have a question about the way partial correlations were estimated for the
megatrawl using FSLnets. Going through the 'ridgep' section of
nets_netmats.m, it looks like the covariance matrix for each subject is
normalized by the square root of the mean of the variances squared - yes,
no, maybe so?

from line 88 of nets_netmats.m:

grot = cov(<component timeseries>);
grot = grot/sqrt(mean(diag(cov1).^2));

I'm just trying to figure out why you square the variances before you take
the mean. Can someone give me a quick explanation or point me towards a
good reference?

Thanks in advance for your help!
