3dmvm "incorrect level coding"

AFNI Message Board
1

Hi,

I am getting an error in trying to run 3dMVM that I cannot understand. I am pretty sure I have specified the variables correctly, particularly that “Drug” is indeed a within subject variable. Help?

The error message is:
Incorrect level coding in variable Drug : PB

The script (truncated):

3dMVM -prefix macs.prelim3 -jobs 64
-bsVars “SexPaired_BG"
-wsVars "TimeDrug”
-qVars ‘Age’
-num_glt 2
-gltLabel 1 ‘MAvPB_A’ -gltCode 1 ‘Drug : 1MA -1PB Time : 1A’
-gltLabel 2 ‘MAvPB_B’ -gltCode 2 'Drug : 1MA -1PB Time : 1B’
-dataTable

Sarah,

Check your system first with the following command:

afni_system_check.py -check_all

If needed, update your AFNI version, and try the script again. If the error persists, upload all the input files plus the 3dMVM script so that I could take a close look.

Thanks, Gang. We updated AFNI per your suggestion, but I am getting the same error message. So, I am uploading the data and the script right now (look for SarahKeedy.tar.gz).
