Dear Freesurfer team,
I am trying to perform qdec longitudinal analysis.
I have ran produced the template and long files, as well as the longitudinal table.
I am currently trying to perform the long_mis_slopes command however I keep getting:
ERROR: qdec table /qdec/long.qdec.respsex.table.dat not found or empty?
I am using
Freesurfer version: freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0
Platform: OS X El Capitan
The table does exist, however, I keep getting the same error. The table has the columns that are specified as being necessary (fsid, fsid-base, and an age column - "days" in my case). Currently it also has a response and sex column. I have changed the age column to "years", changed the location in/out of my subjects folder into a 'qdec' folder within /subjects. I removed the fsid column and received an error output of
ERROR: qdec table missing correct column headers?
Make sure first column is labeled 'fsid' for the time point and
second column is 'fsid-base' to specify the subject tempate (base), e.g.:
fsid fsid-base age
me1 me 22.3
me2 me 23.2
you1 you 21.6
you2 you 22.5
suggesting that it can see the .dat table. Additionally, from the terminal I can open the table in microsoft excel, pico etc. However, it fails when it tries to parse the table.
I have attached a log of the varying attempts I have made to use the long_mris_slopes command. I have also attached what is essentially the .dat table I have been trying to use for your viewing as well. I've searched the list and can't seem to find discussion of this error with regards to the long_mis_slopes command. Am I missing something? Does anyone have any thoughts on how to trouble shoot this?
Thank you.
Quinn
