Freesurfer Support, I'd like to create a design matrix for a group analysis outside of the DODS and DOSS models. I understand that in order to do this the -X flag must be used. However, I have been unable to find examples of how to do this.
I am hoping to reveal a difference in thickness or gyrification amongst a clinical population. The data set contains two factors: diagnosis, and study site and one covariate: age. Diagnosis has two levels: controls, and patients. Study site has four levels, one level for each location the data has been collected from. What I would ideally like to do is: 1) Take into account offset differences amongst diagnosis and study site. 2) Allowing a difference in age slope amongst the diagnosis levels 3) Modeling the age slope as the same for the study site levels My FSGD file is designed as follows Class SITE 1-Control Class SITE 1-PATIENT Class SITE 2-Control Class SITE 2-PATIENT Class SITE 3-Control Class SITE 3-PATIENT Class SITE 4-Control Class SITE 4-PATIENT Variables age_at_scan study site levels = 1,2,3 and 4 diagnosis levels = PATIENT and Control age_at_scan = covariate age Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Tim -- Timothy Hendrickson Department of Psychiatry University of Minnesota Mobile: 507-259-3434 (texts okay)
