Hello FreeSurfer Experts,
I am trying to run QDEC for a group comparison study. I am following the tutorial found on http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/QdecGroupAnalysis_freevi...
However, when I try to load my data table it returns the error.
---------------------------------------------------- Loading data table /home/pcopy_project/qdec/qdec.table.dat... Number of columns: 5 fsid column: 1 Number of factors: 4 Number of subjects: 57 Reading discrete factor levels from config file /home/pcopy_project/qdec/gender.levels Female Male done. Reading discrete factor levels from config file /home/pcopy_project/qdec/diagnosis.levels Control Disease done.
ERROR: Subject SIYA_001 has an invalid level 'Male' in the gender column INFO: If 'gender' is a discrete factor, then create a file named 'gender.levels' containing the valid factor names one per line. Error loading the data table. --------------------------------------------------------
As you see I have a 'gender.levels' file in the same directory as the data file and it reads it above. I still get the error.
I am new to QDEC and any help would be appreciated.
Thank you Mohammed Goryawala, PhD Research Associate Department of Radiology University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
