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)?

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 traditional ANOVA?

Can you let me know if it is correct? This model using the DODS method will have 12 regressors: Regressor1: 1's for F1L1 F2L1, 0 otherwise (i.e., offset for Group 1) Regressor2: 1's for F1L1 F2L2, 0 otherwise (i.e, offset for Group 2) Regressor3: 1's for F1L2 F2L1, 0 otherwise (i.e., offset for Group 3) Regressor4: 1's for F1L2 F2L2, 0 otherwise (i.e., offset for Group 4) Regressor5: COV for Group1 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV slope for Group 1) Regressor6: COV for Group2 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV slope for Group 2) Regressor7: COV for Group3 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV slope for Group 3) Regressor8: COV for Group4 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., COV slope for Group 4) Regressor9: NUI for Group1 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI slope for Group 1) Regressor10: NUI for Group2 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI slope for Group 2) Regressor11: NUI for Group3 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI slope for Group 3) Regressor12: NUI for Group4 subjects, 0 otherwise (i.e., NUI slope for Group 4) Description1: Does the correlation between thickness and COV, accounting for F1 and F2, differ from 0?
