Dear FreeSurfer mailing list, I've got two questions regarding the freesurfer GLM analysis.
1. I am trying to run mri_glmfit on the cortical thickness of a dataset that has a few interacting factors of unequal levels. For example, my dataset may have groups A, B, C, and D. Within the groups, subjects are further divided by gender - male and female. However, group A only has males, such that the classes in my FSGD file = A-male, B-male, B-female, C-male, C-female, D-male, and D-female. Will this design be a problem? Will it be statistically sound? Additionally if I was looking for an effect of gender, how would I weigh my contrast? I was thinking 0.25 0.25 -0.33 0.25 -0.33 0.25 -0.33. Would that be valid? 2. Does mri_glmfit have a limit to the number of subjects it can run with? If I have say upwards of a few thousand subjects, will this be possible to run/how long would that take? Thanks for your help! Regards Yann
