Hi Elijah

This is  happening because the columns of your Qdec table file are separated by tabs or something else. You need to use simple spaces instead or properly modify fReadQdec to support tabs. This is something I need to fix on github:

Asunto: [Freesurfer] LME Longitudinal QDEC Table

Hello Freesurfer Experts,

I am performing a mass-univariate analyses using the LME toolbox for longitudinal studies.

After running both mris_preproc  and mri_surf2surf , I load the lh.thickness_sm10.mgh file using  

[Y,mri] = fs_read_Y('lh.thickness_sm10.mgh');

Next, I run the following command:

Qdec = fReadQdec('qdec.table.dat');

However, it seems that the output is entirely in string format "166 x 1 cell". The first row reads as "'fsid fsid-base years group gender age'" in a single column.

Because of this, I am running into problems when I try to execute the following steps:

Qdec = rmQdecCol(Qdec,1); (removes first column)

sID = Qdec(2:end,1); (grabs the subjects' IDs)

Qdec = rmQdecCol(Qdec,1); (removes the subjects'ID column)

M = Qdec2num(Qdec); (converts to a numeric matrix)

[M,Y,ni] = sortData(M,1,Y,sID); (sorts the data)

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks.

Best Regards,

Elijah
