Dear list:

I am analyzing functional data using FSFAST. I have 7 conditions in a
blocked design and I would like to run an F-test using the following
contrast matrix:
  [ -0.5000         0    0.5000         0   -0.5000    0.5000         0;
         0   -1.0000         0    1.0000         0         0         0]

For this I am manually creating a matlab file with the contrast matrix in
the “mystudy” folder. (Is there a way of having FSFAST create the matrix for
me using mkanalysis-sess ?)
I am attaching the matlab m-file with the matrix, which contains this matrix
as the ContrastMtx_0 variable. In the matlab file, I set sumconds to 0.
I am unsure as what to waht the  WCond matrix should be in the matlab file.
I am making it equal to the ContrastMtx_0, but this might be wrong.

Afterwards I run the analysis using selxavg3-sess, from matlab using (“rois”
is the name of the analysis):
unix([FS_HOME '/fsfast/bin/selxavg3-sess -analysis rois -sf sf -df df -float
-overwrite -monly tmp_gen_rois.m']); tmp_gen_rois;

Within text output, I get the following:
Computing contrast matrices
 …(some stuff regarding other contrast matrices)…
 3 main_faces J= 3  eff = 287636151.3   vrf = 862908453.9536 vrfffx =
852078020.3613 r = 1.01

This last line says that for main_faces J=3, but my contrast matrix has 2
rows (I understand J is the number of lines in the matrix)! Could someone
point out what I am doing wrong here?

 Thank you very much

Pablo
