your 2nd column is all 0s, which probably means you are missing one of the diagnosis-gender combinations

Hi all,
I have reconstructed 12 paediatric subjects aged 4-13 and managed to load qdec as well as generating stats. The factors are age, diagnosis, gender and a continuos factor such as lh temporalpole thickness. When i click analyze, the return is a list of errors as follow.

What do i need to do from here?

Do i have to write a fsgd file/contrast etc? Any suggestions will be most appreciated!

If i wish to use freesurfer for a paediatric group less than 10 years old, what errors or difficulties should i be anticipating?

Thanks!                     Toh Wong
