HCs always have 0 medicationload so it is not possible to measure a load
slope for them. Is it the case that a BD with load=0 is the same as HC?
If so, then just have one class. If not, do you expect the age, edu, and
tiv slopes to differ between the groups? If not, then use DOSS (default
was DODS).

Dear experts,
I would like to run mri_glmfit in a group analysis. However, I met the
following error when I added the medicationload as variable in my fsgd
file.
Since I have 305 subjects and only 75 of these have medication load,
it seems to this variable includes too many zero. Just I guess.
The error:
ERROR: matrix is ill-conditioned or badly scaled, condno = 1e+08\

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 --y lh.volume.BDHC3Study.10.mgh --fsgd FSGD/BDHC3Study.fsgd
--C Contrasts/HC3-BD3.mtx --C Contrasts/BD3-HC3.mtx --surf fsaverage
lh --cortex --glmdir lh.volume.BDHC3Study.10.glmdir \
2. The terminal output of this program (ie, everything it prints to
the screen)\
3. The FSGD file (FSGD/BDHC3Study.fsgd)\
4. The design matrix lh.volume.BDHC3Study.10.glmdir/Xg.dat\
Attempting to diagnose further \
SumSq: Min=6.368664 (col 8), Max=16.261612 (col 7)\
... could not determine the cause of the problem\
--^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^----\
}
I attached my terminal output, fsgd file, and design matrix
Thanks
Yuan
