It is the file computed longitudinal processing that represents the rate with respect to the thickness at the first time point computed by long_mris_slopes.

Sorry, what is "pc1"?

Hello,

 

I was wondering if someone could answer my question below

 

Can I use mri_glmfit-sim after mri_glmfit on the longitudinal pc1 files.

 

Are there any set of parameters that should be set differently when using pc1 instead of thickness files?

 

 

Thanks!

Swati

Hello FreeSurfer Developers,

 

I'm attempting to compare longitudinal cortical thinning rates (pc1) between 3 groups using mri_glmfit using FreeSurfer 6.0. The tutorial suggests that you could use the multiple comparisons corrections that come with it but does not comment on using the mri_glmfit-sim option. 

 

I just want to confirm whether there is anything prohibiting me from using mri_glmfit-sim. Are there any set of parameters that should be set differently when using pc-1 instead of thickness files?

 

Also, would you do a stricter correction and stick to the longitudinal model or prefer the linear mixed effects model and do a FDR? How do you decide between the two?

 

Thanks!

Swati
