You can use mris_preproc or mri_glmfit. Instead, use asegstats2table. This will create a text table that you can load into a stats program. See the wiki tutorial for examples. doug Anita di Iasio wrote: Hi all, I have 2 groups of subjects and I want to do a volume group analysis to compare v

You don't *have to* to run make_average_subject to do your analysis, only if you want to view the results on a map with the curvature patterns averaged over your subjects. As for the limit error, how old is your version of freesurfer? That line was removed about 1.5 years ago... doug Feng-Xia

You will have to do it with the "command-line stream". Ie, set up your own FSGD file with classes and covariates, run mris_preproc, create your own contrasts, then run mri_glmfit. There are examples on the wiki. doug Feng-Xian wrote: Hi, I have a problem of group analysis with QDEC. Now, I w

It means that you have an ill-conditioned design matrix. It is probably the case that your discrete or continuous variables are redundant or that you don't have members in all your classes. doug Toh Hock Wong wrote: Hi to all, I have been having troubles with qdec and several error messages

Feng-xian, I should also mention that i dont think creating your own average subject will solve the problem you describe, where you need to work with three levels in your group. for that, you wont be able to use qdec, but will need to run things manually. these pages give examples: http://surfe

Feng-Xian, It appears that you do not have permission on your system to change the limits. So you will have to edit the scripts make_average_volume, make_average_surface and make_average_subject to comment out the 'limit' line, so that it looks like this: #limit descriptors unlimited Nick On
