External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Freesurfer experts,

I get the error that you can find at the end of this message when I am
running mri_glmfit.

Whenever I run an analysis in which the experimental design has more than
12 columns, I get the same error, whereas if the experimental design has
less than 12 columns, the analysis is successful.

I also send you the fsgd.txt file (through FTP File Exchange). In this file
you can see that there are four groups that have been created by the
combination of two discrete variables (sex and apoe-type).

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Possible problem with experimental design:
Check for duplicate entries and/or lack of range of
continuous variables within a class.
If you seek help with this problem, make sure to send:
  1. Your command line:
    mri_glmfit.bin --surf amy_frapsaliva_average lh --C
/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/amy_frapsaliva_stats/contrast.mat --fsgd
/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/amy_frapsaliva_stats/fsgd.txt dods --label
