External Email - Use Caution
Hello,
I recently ran a vertex wise analysis on two different projects the first had
three groups with three co-variates that looked at if group membership was
associated with brain volume. The second project had two groups with three
co-variates looking at psychiatric x BMI interaction effect on brain volume.
I'm interested in running ROI analyses in matlab to ensure the same matrices
were used.
To run the ROI analyses I'm going to important the design matrix from the
vertex wise analysis and use the fast_glmfit and fast_fratio commands as shown
below:
X = load('Xg.dat');
C = load('C.dat');
y = load('ROI.dat'); text file containing participant ROI values from the DKT
atlas.
[beta rvar] = fast_glmfit(y,X);
[F pvalues] = fast_fratio(beta,X,rvar,C
My first question is the beta values that are calculated from fast_glmfit are
unstandardized is there anyway way to have it compute standardized values?
I think this is how you would compute that
betastddev = sqrt(rvar*diag(inv(X'*X)));
betastandard = beta./betastddev;
When I try running this in Matlab I get the Error using * incorrect
dimensions for matrix multiplication message.
That means that the number of items in y (ie, number of subjects in ROI.dat) is
different than the number of rows in X (number of subjects in the fsgd). What
are the sizes of y and X?
That's what I suspected as well however, X = 102x12 and Y= 102x5. I ran
[betastddev = sqrt(rvar*diag(inv(X'*X))); betastandard = beta./betastddev]
after running successfully running [[beta rvar] = fast_glmfit(Y,X); [F pvalues]
= fast_fratio(beta,X,rvar,C)] so its odd that the the dimensions wouldn't be
matching.
Also when using fast_glmfit and fast_fratio via Matlab for ROI analyses what
are the appropriate papers to cite? In the Matlab files in fsfast there is
reference to Worsley, K.J. and Friston, K.J. Analysis of fMRI Time-Series
Revisited - Again. Neuroimage 2, 173-181, 1995. Would this be the correct
citation?
The GLM is so old I would not know what to cite. If you feel you need to cite
something, that Worsley paper is fine.
My second question is when I ran the ROI analyses looking at the diagnosis x
BMI interaction effect it outputs an array of beta values for each regressor.
In addition to each groups beta value (for BMI) I'm interested in the beta
value of the interaction (ie diagnosis x BMI). I was wondering how do i go
about obtaining this? Would I have to create a new matrix with the interaction
term included in it?
If so would the analysis essentially be one group with the diagnosis x BMI
interaction term plus the three co-variates?
If you are using an FSGD file and have used DODS, then you can create an
interaction contrast. Send me your fsgd file if you want further help
Yes I was using DODS approach for this analysis, I've attached my FSGD file to
this email.
You have 2 groups and 4 coviariates so 10 regressors. The dx BMI interaction
would need a contrast matrix
0 0 1 -1 0 0 ... the rest 0s
BTW, sex should not be a covariate. You really need to have four groups,
P-male, P-female, HC-male, and HC-female (which would change the contrast above)
Also, I would normalize the age and ICV
Thanks for the correction I'll update my matrix accordingly to four groups and
normalize the variables! The contrast matrix I ran was actually the same you
suggested however it pastes an array of beta values for each 10 regressors.
However, I was interested in obtaining a beta value that represents the
interaction.
