Running that, the highest off-diagonal value was about 0.095. Is that enough that it should be a problem? I also tried running mri_glmfit with a fsgd file, and it claimed it was "not formatted properly." Other than the fact that I have two class variables, my file looks identical to the example on the wiki, so I'm wondering if that was supposed to be encoded in some way other than how I did it. In that file, my lines look like:
Group Descriptor File
Title Title
Tessellation surface
Class NC
(other classes...)
Variables Age
Input Subject01 NC Male 42.35
(other subjects)
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Thanks,
-Aaron-

It sounds like there's something wrong with your design matrix. Try loading it into matlab and looking X'*X. If there are significant off-diagonal values, then that means that those components are too correlated to estimate.

Thanks. I had one more question now that I'm to mri_glmfit. Based on an error message I'm getting, it seems something about my design matrix isn't set up right. I'm inputting a text file for x in which each row looks like:
1 0 0 1 0 42.35
with the first three numbers being my class variable of interest, the next two gender, and the last age. It tells me the "matrix is ill-conditioned or badly scaled, condno = 1e+08," and then prints out the matrix and aborts. Do you know what I need to do differently for this to work? Thanks,

something like:
mri_surf2surf --s subject --hemi lh --sval input --tval output --fwhm 5

Hi, I'm attempting to do thickness analysis based on the guide at: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/docs/ftp/pub/docs/fsgroupana.pdf For the smoothing part using mri_surf2surf (page 14), I was wondering what a typical command line should look like.
