I remove only class "patient_centre2_female", then my contrast would have 11 (-1) and 12 (1) as opposed to 12 and 12. Could you please clarify? Thanks again, Colleen Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] FSGD design for multi-centre study Date: 2018-04-20 11:19 From: &q

External Email - Use Caution Thanks a lot for the explanation. The issue is that I don't think Freesurfer will run a design for which there are no subjects for a given class. So if I keep the classes (24 classes since 6 centres x 2 gender x 2 groups (patient vs. control), and ha

sorry for the delay ... You will definitely need to change the contrast values so that the positives and negatives both add to the same number (with opposite sign). It is a bit of a judgement call in terms of removing them entirely. With an unbalanced design, you cannot remove the fixed effect

Hi, I just wanted to ask again regarding my question below. I've noticed that 2 of the centres contribute a smaller number of subjects and don't in fact have any female controls. Should I remove these as classes (ie. take out control_Female_centre1 and control_Female_centre2) and then change t

That looks right to me. If you use a DOSS model and have a lot of subjects, I don't think there should be a problem with so many classes. On 04/09/2018 09:50 AM, C.P.E. Rollins wrote: > Hi Douglas, > > Thanks for your response. I just wanted to confirm how the FSGD and > contrast files might loo

Hi Douglas, Thanks for your response. I just wanted to confirm how the FSGD and contrast files might look for the multicentre study. If I'm to create a separate class for each combination of diagnosis, sex, and center, would there then be 24 classes? (as there are 2 diagnoses (patient vs. cont

Create a separate class for each combination of diagnosis, sex, and center, then create contrasts that average over center. On 4/6/18 7:11 AM, C.P.E. Rollins wrote: > Dear Freesurfer Developers, > > I'd like to do a standard CT analysis (patients vs. controls, covaried > for age and sex) on data
