If you have two groups and a single covariate, when you run it with mri_glmfit create a contrast with [0 0 1 -1]. In QDEC, it will be one of the default contrasts (something like "do the two groups differ in slope?")

Thanks Doug and how can check if the slopes are different?

    Use DODS to test whether the slopes differ between the three
    groups. If they do not, then use DOSS.

    Thanks Doug for the prompt reply. I just want to if DODS is ok to
    be used in my case or I should use DOSS?

        HiAmirhossein, don't use the DOSS feature in QDEC because there is a 
bug such that
        it does not always do the right thing. Sorry, I sent out an email
        about 8mo ago on this, but it is not easy to let people know about a bug
        once the bug is out there. If you want to use DOSS, use mri_glmfit 
directly. If you still have a question,


          then repost to the list.

        Hello all,
        I am using Qdec (version5.1) to study cortical thickness
        differences between groups having Age as nuisance covariate.
        I do not have assumption if the groups are different or not
        .  Using DODS and DOSS gives me completely different
        results. We have three groups including 41, 39, and 24
        subjects in each.
        My question is which results design matrix type is more
        reliable for such a study? And also what if I include a
        covariate of interest in my comparison?
        Thanks in advance,
        Best regards,
        Amirhossein Manzouri
