Hello dear..., all.

 

I have a basic question.

I can't understand how to calculate value of "ppf".

 

An age-dependent differential pathlength factor (DPF) was computed for each participant, I think.

I used default value of ppf "1", and it run without any problem.

Although I wonder if it's okay to keep the default.

 

Kind regards,

Sae

Here is a Matlab code for working out DPF (which can be entered as a substitute for PPF in Homer3, due to a lack of PVF values)

 

The example here is for ages 18-30 and wavelengths 780nm and 850nm but you can play around with the parameters to suit your data

 

% Define the wavelength values
lambda1 = 780; % Wavelength in nm
lambda2 = 850; % Wavelength in nm

% Define the age range
ages = 18:30; % Ages from 18 to 30

% Initialize arrays to store DPF values for both wavelengths
DPF_780nm = zeros(size(ages));
DPF_850nm = zeros(size(ages));

% Parameters for the DPF calculation
a = 223.3;
b = 0.05624;
c = 0.8493;
d = -5.723E-7;
e = 0.001245;
f = -0.9025;

% Calculate DPF for each age at both wavelengths
for i = 1:length(ages)
    A = ages(i);
    DPF_780nm(i) = a + b * A^c + d * lambda1^3 + e * lambda1^2 + f * lambda1;
    DPF_850nm(i) = a + b * A^c + d * lambda2^3 + e * lambda2^2 + f * lambda2;
end

% Display the results
disp('Age    DPF (780nm)    DPF (850nm)');
disp([ages', DPF_780nm', DPF_850nm']);
Age    DPF (780nm)    DPF (850nm)
% Define the wavelength values
lambda1 = 780; % Wavelength in nm
lambda2 = 850; % Wavelength in nm

% Define the age range
ages = 18:30; % Ages from 18 to 30

% Initialize arrays to store DPF values for both wavelengths
DPF_780nm = zeros(size(ages));
DPF_850nm = zeros(size(ages));

% Parameters for the DPF calculation
a = 223.3;
b = 0.05624;
c = 0.8493;
d = -5.723E-7;
e = 0.001245;
f = -0.9025;

% Calculate DPF for each age at both wavelengths
for i = 1:length(ages)
    A = ages(i);
    DPF_780nm(i) = a + b * A^c + d * lambda1^3 + e * lambda1^2 + f * lambda1;
    DPF_850nm(i) = a + b * A^c + d * lambda2^3 + e * lambda2^2 + f * lambda2;
end

% Display the results
disp('Age    DPF (780nm)    DPF (850nm)');
disp([ages', DPF_780nm', DPF_850nm']);
Age    DPF (780nm)    DPF (850nm)
