Hi Shannon, there is not a way in QDEC or with an FSGD file. You'll have to create a design matrix and feed that into mri_glmfit with the --X option. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Hi Doug,
I just wanted to double check on what you mean. I want to run statistical models without the interaction term. When I ran a test using DOSS and co-varying for sex, age, and ICV, I chose two discrete factors (study, sex), 1 covariate (age), and 1 nuisance factor (ICV). The results I got were the same as when I ran this in SAS but with the interaction term included:
model &yvar = study Sex study*sex age ICV

Is there a way in QDEC to run models without the interaction term (ex: study*sex)?

Thanks!

    Hi Shannon, you can use the DOSS (different offset/same slope) instead
    of DODS
