yes the input is area - so to clarify, in order to get the average area for each subject in that cluster I would multiply each subject's values in the xxx.ocn.y.dat file by the number of vertices in the cluster (denoted as NVtxs in the cluster summary?) e.g. 0.761374 * 998 = 759.85mmsq? Does the s

Hi Laura, I assume the input is area? Then this will compute the average area of each vertex. The area of a vertex is the average area of the triangles around it. To get total area, you can multiple the number that you get from xxx.ocn.y.dat by the number of vertices in the cluster. doug ps. W

hi Doug, A follow up question: when I look at the xxx.ocn.y.dat for a cluster where group differences in surface area have been identified the values are all less than 1 (e.g. 0.761374) even though the cluster size is reported as 680 mmsq. does the y value correspond to .76 mmsq average area for t

They are the input (mri_glmfit --y y.mgh) averaged over the clusters. They are raw input, no detrending. doug On 03/20/2013 05:16 PM, Laura M. Tully wrote: > Hello experts, > > could someone clarify for me what the y values in the xxx.ocn.y.dat > files represent following glmfit-sim? are they the

[Freesurfer] y values from glmfit-sim

2013-03-20 Thread Laura M. Tully
Hello experts, could someone clarify for me what the y values in the xxx.ocn.y.dat files represent following glmfit-sim? are they the residualized y values of avg cortical thickness in that specific cluster after regressing out the effect of any predictor variables in the glm? Thanks! Laura. --
