No, not at all sure. That is why I am asking. However, mri_glmfit says
that the values should be t-values if there is only one row in the
contrast matrix, which makes sense mathematically:
"The F-ratio for the contrast is then given by:
F = G'*inv(C*inv(X'W'*W*X))*C')*G/(J*rvar)
The F is then used to compute a p-value. Note that when J=1, this
reduces to a two-tailed t-test."
In my test data, J does equal 1.

Are you sure that it is saving t-values in F.mgh and not

Subject: [Freesurfer] t-value saved values

Hi,
I asked about this last week, and had a nice discussion with Doug, but
somehow in that we never got the answer to my original question.
When FreeSurfer saves t-values (in F.mgh), what is it actually saving?
The numbers in the file do not have a t-distribution (even when the
source data for the glm is random noise). Is a transform applied to the
t-values before the write, as is done with the p-values?
