Dear FS experts
We have done a group analysis with FS, but we are not absolutely sure which is the most adequate design matrix to describe our data. We compared two groups and used one covariate of no interest (mean thickness, total area, etc.). Because there are two different options to create the design matrix (dods and doss), we run the analysis twice, one time with dods and the other time with doss, and unfortunately, we got two quite different patterns of structural brain differences.
Is there any theoretical and/or empirical recommendation/clues in order to decide which type of design matrix is more appropriate for our data?
Thanks in advance Best regards
Juergen
