Hello,
I have just run a number of permutation and mc-z on data that was previously
analysed using qdec. Unfortunately none of my clusters reach significance (in
some cases there are no clusters found at all) and I am unsure as to what I am
doing wrong. I am running freesurfer v4.1.0 on CentOS. My commands were as
follows:
mri_glmfit –y y.mgh –fsgd ./qdec.fsgd dods --surf fsaverage lh
--fwhm 15 –glmdir ./glmdir --C
./contrasts/lh-Diff-patient-CONTROL-Intercept-thickness.mat --sim perm 5000 2
./glmdir/csd1
followed by:
mri_surfcluster --in ./lh-Diff-patient-CONTROL-Intercept-thickness/sig.mgh –csd
./glmdir/csd1-lh-Diff-patient-CONTROL-Intercept-thickness.csd --sum
lh-Diff-patient-CONTROL-Intercept-thickness/sig.cluster.sum –cwsig
lh-Diff-patient-CONTROL-Intercept-thickness/sig.cluster.mgh
I append a log file of mri_glmfit and the output of mri_surfcluster below –
there are clusters listed but none of them reach significance. It is confusing
because I was under the impression that permutation thresholding was less
conservative than fdr correction.
I have also run these using –sim mc-z 5000 2 - maybe I am not performing
enough iterations?
Also: is RFT correction implemented in the latest version of freesurfer?
Any help appreciated,
Rysia
