[Freesurfer] longitudinal analysis: rate of change

2012-08-13 Thread Shannon Kogachi
Hi, I had a question about the rate of change (thickening in mm/year) for the longitudinal processing. How is this value calculated when there are more than two timepoints per subject? Thank you! -Shannon K. ___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mg

[Freesurfer] qdec analyses without interaction effect

2012-08-20 Thread Shannon Kogachi
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to run statistical tests, such as a 2-way ANCOVA, on QDEC but without the interaction effect. I ran a 2-way ANCOVA for thickness measures for a longitudinal study, and no interaction effect was found. Therefore, I would like to run the same test but without t

[Freesurfer] repeated measures ANOVA with two groups

2012-08-23 Thread Shannon Kogachi
Hi, Is there a way to set up a repeated measures ANOVA and ANCOVA with two different groups (ex: study group v. controls) and each subject has more than two timepoints? Would it be possible to assign each Input in the fsgd file to two classes (ex: timepoint scan and group) or is there another way

[Freesurfer] error in long_mris_slopes command

2012-08-31 Thread Shannon Kogachi
Hi Freesurfers, I've just tried to use the long_mris_slopes command on some longitudinal data. I've created my long.qdec.table.dat file. I've run this command before without any problems but I need to re-run it again. This time when I try to re-run it this error pops up: ERROR 1 : mris_label_cal

[Freesurfer] long_mris_slopes command: temporal average calculation

2012-09-26 Thread Shannon Kogachi
Hi, I had a question about how the temporal average is calculated for subjects with multiple timepoints. I used the long_mris_slopes command on a longitudinal set of data. However, when I compared the average volumes calculated through this command to the average volumes calculated in excel after
