Re: [Freesurfer] single subject versus a group map in qdec

2011-03-31 Thread Douglas N Greve
Hi Emily, it is just performing a two group analysis, where one of 
your groups only has a single subject. There is nothing wrong with what 
you did, it all comes down to what conclusion you are trying to draw 
from it. I think it is ok for a case report.

 Could you describe the process qdec uses to compute these differences?
 Is it legitimate to report these single subject maps?
 Practically this is very useful for case reports but Im concerned 
 about violating statistical rules.

 Thanks!

I'm curious about the use of this method as well (thanks for the paper PPJ).  
Bruce/Doug, how exactly does QDEC treat this design?  Can a single-subject 
comparison properly be done?  Thanks.
