The aim of this paper is to test a technique called partial directed coherence (PDC) and its
modification (squared PDC; sPDC) for the estimation of human cortical connectivity by
means of simulation study, in which both PDC and sPDC were studied by analysis of
variance. The statistical analysis performed returned that both PDC and sPDC are able to
estimate correctly the imposed connectivity patterns when data exhibit a signal-to-noise ratio
of at least 3 and a length of at least 27 s of nonconsecutive recordings at 250 Hz of sampling …

The statistical analysis performed returned that both PDC and sPDC are able to estimate correctly the imposed connectivity patterns when data exhibit a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 3 and a length of at least 27 s of nonconsecutive recordings at 250 Hz of sampling rate, equivalent, more generally, to 6750 data samples.
