Doug, sorry, I am not sure I can fully understand.

Do you mean the results are weighted MORE toward groups with smaller sample 
sizes (than groups with larger sample sizes)?

  It will tend to weight smaller groups by a proportion greater than the
number of subjects in the group.

Thanks Doug! One follow-up question: since it's [0.25  0.25  0.25
  0.25], would the effect be biased toward large sample sizes in one of
the groups (versus the other groups)?

Or, does FreeSurfer qdec take care of the unequal cell, in a possible
way analogous to using Type III SS in the traditional ANOVA?

Best,
Daniel

         Dear FreeSurfer experts,

         I have two binary factors (F1: F1L1 F1L2; F2: F2L1 F2L2), 1
         covariate
         (COV), and 1 nuisance factor (NUI). I want to make sense of some
         specification of the regressors and contrasts.
         Because they are not described
         in http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Fsgdf4G1V, I post my
         understanding below. Can you let me know if it is correct?

         This model using the DODS method will have 12 regressors:

         Regressor1: 1's for F1L1 F2L1, 0 otherwise (i.e., offset for
         Group 1)
         Regressor2: 1's for F1L1 F2L2, 0 otherwise (i.e, offset for
         Group 2)
         Regressor3: 1's for F1L2 F2L1, 0 otherwise (i.e., offset for
         Group 3)
         Regressor4: 1's for F1L2 F2L2, 0 otherwise (i.e., offset for
         Group 4)
         Regressor5: COV for Group1 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV
         slope for
         Group 1)
         Regressor6: COV for Group2 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV
         slope for
         Group 2)
         Regressor7: COV for Group3 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV
         slope for
         Group 3)
         Regressor8: COV for Group4 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV
         slope for
         Group 4)
         Regressor9: NUI for Group1 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI
         slope for
         Group 1)
         Regressor10: NUI for Group2 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI
         slope for
         Group 2)
         Regressor11: NUI for Group3 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI
         slope for
         Group 3)
         Regressor12: NUI for Group4 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI
         slope for
         Group 4)

         Description1: Does the correlation between thickness and COV,
         accounting for F1 and F2, differ from 0? Nuisance factors: NUI
         Contrast1: [0  0  0  0  0.25  0.25  0.25  0.25  0  0  0  0]

         Best,
         Daniel
