Statistical Parametric Mapping. SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) refers to the construction and assessment of spatially extended statistical processes used to test hypotheses about functional imaging data. These ideas have been instantiated in software that is called SPM.
This form of statistics uses the observed data to estimate parameters of the distribution. Under parametric statistics, data is assumed to fit a normal distribution with unknown parameters Î¼ (population mean) and Ï 2 (population variance), which are then estimated using the sample mean and sample variance.
