Comparison of usability of methods.
| Method | Computational effort | Parameter space | Comparability | Overall usability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSE | 3.11 s | 3 | high | OK |
| MPE | 5.69 s | 3 | moderate | OK |
| LZC | 0.29 s | 1 | high | good |
| CD | 37.8 min | 7 | moderate | weak |
| MFDFA | 7.09 s | 6 | low | weak |
| WLBMF | 2.84 s | 7 | low | weak |
Computational effort reflects the time to compute six time windows of one channel of one dataset. Parameter Space quantifies the number of parameters that can be manipulated within the analysis. Comparability relates to the abundance in related human neuroscience literature.
