ness and area what do you mean they do not differ in gender ratio? Just that the relative number of M/F is the same in each group? If there is not a significant interaction between gender and group, then you can usually merge the genders. On 04/05/2017 05:13 PM, Lim, Lena wrote: > > Dear Frees

Dear Freesurfer Experts, 1) I have 2 groups (A & B), which do not differ in terms of gender ratio. If there were no significant regions for Group-Gender interaction in mean cortical thickness in the QDEC analysis, can I conclude that gender does not influence the effect of group on thickness?
