Hi, sorry for the delay. In theory, DODS is better than DOSS because you have an extra parameter you can use to fit the data and it will not bias you to find a false positive. On the other hand, it does cost you DOF, so if you have a small number of subjects, it can increase the false negative rate.

Dear FS experts

We have done a group analysis with FS, but we are not absolutely sure which
is the most adequate design matrix to describe our data. We compared two
groups and used one covariate of no interest (mean thickness, total area,
etc.). Because there are two different options to create the design matrix
(dods and doss), we run the analysis twice, one time with dods and the other
time with doss, and unfortunately, we got two quite different patterns of
structural brain differences.

Is there any theoretical and/or empirical recommendation/clues in order to
decide which type of design matrix is more appropriate for our data?

Thanks in advance
Best regards

Juergen
