vary according to algorithm. Specifically, ``tedana`` offers two different approaches that perform this step.

In the simplest approach, ``tedana`` uses Minka’s MLE to estimate the
dimensionality of the data, which disregards low-variance components (the `mle` option in for `--tedpca`).
The default approach (the `mdl` option for `--tedpca`) is based on a Moving Average (stationary Gaussian) process

proposed by `Li et al (2007)`_. A moving average process is the output of a linear system (which in this case is
a smoothing filter) that has an independent and identically distributed Gaussian process as the input. If we assume that the linear system is shift
invariant, the moving average process is a stationary Gaussian random process. Simply put, this process more optimally
selects the number of components for fMRI data following a subsampling scheme described in `Li et al (2007)`_. The
selection of components is performed with either of the three options provided by `--tedpca`:

* `aic`: the Akaike Information Criterion, which is the least aggressive option; i.e., returns the largest number of components.
* `kic`: the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion, which stands in the middle in terms of aggressiveness.
* `mdl`: the Minimum Description Length, which is the most aggressive (and recommended) option.

A more complicated approach involves applying a decision tree (similar to the
decision tree described in the TEDICA section below) to identify and
