The reliability is important for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Previous study has developed a statistical model (independence model) to quantify the test-retest reliability with only two states (active or inactive). More and more fMRI experiments have detected three state regions in the brain, including active, deactive and non-significant regions. In order to quantify the test-retest reliability of the fMRI data with three state regions, this study developed the three-state independence model. The model was applied to acupuncture fMRI data, the results indicated that the reliability of BOLD was higher than that of CBF.
