Got it! I guess we may work around by specifying weighted contrast like [ 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 ] ? -- Daniel (Yung-Jui) Yang, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Researcher Yale Child Study Center New Haven, CT Tel: (203) 737-5454 E-mail: yung-jui.y...@yale.edu On 2/18/14 11:25 PM, "Douglas Greve" mailto:gr...@

Let's say you have four groups with 10 20 30 40 (100 total). The first group would get a weight of .25 where it only had 10% of the total. I don't think there is any way around this. On 2/18/14 4:07 PM, Yang, Daniel wrote: Doug, sorry, I am not sure I can fully understand. Do you mean the

Doug, sorry, I am not sure I can fully understand. Do you mean the results are weighted MORE toward groups with smaller sample sizes (than groups with larger sample sizes)? -- Daniel (Yung-Jui) Yang, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Researcher Yale Child Study Center New Haven, CT Tel: (203) 737-5454 E-mail:

It will tend to weight smaller groups by a proportion greater than the number of subjects in the group. On 02/18/2014 01:58 PM, Yang, Daniel wrote: > Thanks Doug! One follow-up question: since it's [0.25 0.25 0.25 > 0.25], would the effect be biased toward large sample sizes in one of >

Thanks Doug! One follow-up question: since it's [0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25], would the effect be biased toward large sample sizes in one of the groups (versus the other groups)? Or, does FreeSurfer qdec take care of the unequal cell, in a possible way analogous to using Type III SS in the traditio

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I have two binary factors (F1: F1L1 F1L2; F2: F2L1 F2L2), 1 covariate (COV), and 1 nuisance factor (NUI). I want to make sense of some specification of the regressors and contrasts. Because they are not described in http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Fsgdf4G1V, I
