Dear experts,
I'm using 3dMVM to calculate the interaction effect of two within variables. The first one is the Time variable (pre and post treatment), the second one is a three-level varaible which represents three parameter of a function (HRF function of BOLD signal).
I want to explore the effect of time separately on the three parameters of the HRF (time-to-peak, height, and fwhm).
This is the code for 3dMVM:
3dMVM -prefix Timing_Effect_on_HRFparam \
-bsVars "Sex+Age" \
-wsVars "Timing+HRFparam" \
-qVars "Age" \
-mask mean_all_mask.nii \
-num_glt 4 \
-gltLabel 1 'Pre_vs_Post' -gltCode 1 'Timing : 1*pre -1*post' \
-gltLabel 2 'Pre_vs_Post_on_height' -gltCode 2 'Timing : 1*pre -1*post * HRFparam : 1*height' \
-gltLabel 3 'Pre_vs_Post_on_timetopeak' -gltCode 3 'Timing : 1*pre -1*post * HRFparam : 1*time' \
-gltLabel 4 'Pre_vs_Post_on_FWHM' -gltCode 4 'Timing : 1*pre -1*post * HRFparam : 1*fwhm' \
-dataTable @dataTable.txt
I have already run analyses with the following code for 3dMVM, but this time this error came out:
"** Error:
Failed at GLT No. 1! Make sure that the model or GLT specification syntax is correct.
Warning:
In summary.Anova.mlm(object$Anova, multivariate = FALSE) :
one or more error SSP matrix:
corresponding non-sphericity tests and corrections not available"
I tried different solutions but no one worked (remove the covariates, control the dataTable file...).
Could it be due to the small sample size? What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Bea
