Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

Hello,

I’ve received an error when attempting to run a 3x2 ANOVA through 3dMVM. I have never seen this error before, it seems to be R-related. Any ideas on solutions or better ways of structuring the ANOVA. The file was run with more than enough memory. My runfile code is below, and in the actual .txt file the columns are separated appropriately.

Thank you,
Mikey

-bsVars 'condition*age+sex'
-wsVars 'contrasts'
-qVars 'age,motion' \

You didn't specify the variable 'motion' in the first two lines above. Maybe try the following

-bsVars 'condition*age+sex+motion'
-wsVars 'contrasts'
-qVars 'age,motion' \

Hey Gang, thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem. I get the same error message following update of my bsVar line.

Thanks,
Mikey

3dMVM validator may help diagnose the problem:

https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/htmldoc/tutorials/3dMVM_validator/main_toc.htmlhttps://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/htmldoc/tutorials/3dMVM_validator/main_toc.html

-glfLabel 1 ST_ANOVA_aVf_HCvPCvIED -glfCode 1 'contrasts : 1angry -1fear condition : 1HC -1IED & 1HC -1PC & 1IED -1PC'\

This specification does not make sense. By default 3dMVM would automatically provide the interaction assessment for this interaction between "condition" and "contrasts". Nevertheless, with three conditions, the specification should be something like

-glfCode 1 'contrasts : 1angry -1fear condition : 1HC -1IED & 1HC -1PC'\
