eb

per_feature

Either use ComBat for all features combined (0) or per feature (1), in which case a second feature equal to the single feature plus random noise will be added if eb=1

excluded_features

Provide substrings of feature labels of features which should be excluded from ComBat. Recommended to use for features unaffected by the batch variable.

matlab

If using Matlab, path to Matlab executable.
