Thank you for your response . Sorry but for my understanding, should i substract the mean from the data (demean) or you mean to remove the value which is equal to the mean ?
Thank you.
Regards, Nabin

Dear Freesurfer forum,
'I am trying to run qdec analysis for a group of subjects to see if correlation exists but I am getting this error only for this particular set of data but could not figure out what is exactly wrong with it. Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
