External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Doug, 

Thanks for the quick response. I did see the error. However, I specified doss in the mri_glmfit command and my mtx looks accurate as indicated above. Does that mean it can only work with dods? The reason I'm using 2 groups is because I want to regress out the effect of sex. However, the recommended way to do it in fsgd is to create a class for it and I only have 3 males. 

Is there a workaround for this?

Many thanks.

Hello, 

I have 2 groups (group 1 = 3 members, group 2 = 12 members) and I did like to regress out the effects of groups + other variables by using doss. However, whenever I specify doss with the mri_glmfit command, it gives me an error message (see below). I saw that others have experienced similar issues without any solutions. How can we solve this? Any insight is appreciated. 

Best,
Paul
