Normative Brain Volumes Stats

Build normative brain volule stats from a dataset.

Description

The normative stats are used by the process morpho_report. This process is a simplified (easier) version of normative_brainvolumes_stats_mult for a single normative dataset with a single covariables table.
The other process is able to use several datasets, with covariables spread across multiple .csv tables, but it requires to write a datasets config file.

Parameters

brain_volumes_files: ListOf( Brain volumetry measurements ) ( input )
covariables_csv: CSV file ( input )
stats: Normative brain volumes stats ( output )
covariables: String ( input )
Covariables to be taken into account to build stratified stats. If not provided, only global stats are built.
The covariables mayu be either a list (in JSON format), like ["sex", "age"], or a dict which tells which column of the covariables table actually contains the information, ex: {"age": "Age", "sex": "Gender"}. If several covariable tables are needed, or if covariates transformations are required (for instance if sex is not "M", "F" but 0, 1, or age is in months instead of years), then you will need to use the other process, normative_brainvolumes_stats_mult.
