A Student-t model with five degrees of freedom had lower 1–80 Hz test loss than Gaussian at the same covariance in 36 public SEEG patients

We tested two voltage density models on public interictal SEEG from 36 epilepsy patients. Each model used one file to score a second file from the same patient. The Gaussian and Student-t models had the same training mean and covariance. The Student-t model had five degrees of freedom. Covariance shrinkage was fixed at 0.1. In the 1–80 Hz band, the Student-t model had lower test loss in all 36 patients. The median gain was 0.0828 nats per contrast dimension. The 95 percent patient bootstrap interval was [0.0647028, 0.112019]. One patient supplied 98.6 percent of the total gain. All native time samples gave the same patient win count. A later training scale control gave lower Student-t loss in 35 patients. These scores support Student-t densities as a baseline for this file transfer task. They do not identify a neural cause. The package has code, source hashes, fitted models, radial values, raw fixtures, and reproduction instructions.

    We used the contrast geometry argument to keep both voltage densities in one common path difference space.

    We adapted the path basis code. Fresh block covariance matched its gap covariance archive exactly in all 72 files.
