External Email - Use Caution        

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

I tried to examine the thickness differences between two groups after 
controlling for the age, gender, and mean thickness, while I got an error 
message below:

ERROR: matrix is ill-conditioned or badly scaled, condno = 1e+08
Possible problem with experimental design:
Check for duplicate entries and/or lack of range of
continuous variables within a class.
If you seek help with this problem, make sure to send:

Your command line: mri_glmfit.bin --y 
glm/FB_demo_lh_CT/lh.FB_demo_lh_CT.thickness.10B.mgh --fsgd

--glmdir glm/FB_demo_lh_CT/lh.FB_demo_lh_CT.thickness.10B.glmdir
The FSGD file (if using one)
And the design matrix above
Attempting to diagnose further 
SumSq: Min=1.258825 (col 10), Max=5.384785 (col 5)
 ... could not determine the cause of the problem


I have searched this problem in the mail archive. I have done the normalization 
for all covariables (age and mean thickness). Sex and test condition are 
treated as class variables. So I have no idea about the cause of the error. 
Here I attached the FSGD file and the matrix. The contrast is 0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 
-0.5, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0. Can someone help me? Thank you!


Best regards,
Chen
