          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.
