Title & Abstract:	Deformation Based Morphometry and Roy's Maximum Root We are interested in anatomical differences (in the brain) between controls and patients who have suffered non-missile trauma. We use a multivariate linear model at each location in space, using Hotelling's T2 to detect differences between cases and controls. If we include further covariates in the model, Roy's maximum root is a natural generalization of Hotelling's T2. This leads to the Roy's maximum root random field, which includes many special types of random fields: Hotelling's T2, T, and F, so, in effect the Roy's maximum root random field "unifies" many different random fields used in brain imaging.
