It only needs to be accounted for when you compare across all 3 groups, in which case you'd have to use mri_glmfit

Hi Doug,

Thanks... Presumably I'd just leave each possible pair of groups at a time in the qdec table, and delete rows corresponding to subjects of the remaining group? And then do stats on, e.g. "long.thickness-rate" to compare rate of change between the current pair of groups?
Doesn't variability across all 3 groups somehow have to be accounted for?

    Yes, you could do each separately.

    Dear FS list,

    I have a data set with 3 groups (2 treatments, 1 control), each
    with equally-spaced time-points (pre and post structural scan).
    I've done the 3 longitudinal pre-processing steps, and stage#1 of
    the two-stage model, and I would prefer to run stage#2
    (cross-sectional analysis of the difference) with QDEC as opposed
    to with mri_glmfit.

    I know that QDEC is meant for 2 groups, but I see that designs
    with 4 or 6 groups can be analysed with QDEC (as per this
    <https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsgdExamples> FSGD
    examples page) whereas designs with 3 groups cannot be. It seems
    to me that an even number of groups is QDEC-able while an odd
    number isn't, but is there any workaround so that I can still use
    QDEC? Perhaps if I only do pairwise comparisons one at a time,
    i.e. treatment1 vs control and treatment2 vs control?

    Many thanks!
    Tudor
