I'm pretty sure that is uses the order in the .levels file. It will create a y.fsgd file in the output folder. Look at the order in that as that will be definitive.

Hello experts,

I am using QDEC to compared LGI values between groups (typically develping and ASD). I made a "diagnosis.levels" file, putting my 2 groups in the following order:

Typically developing ASD

However, when I upload my qdec.table.dat file on QDEC, it recognizes my diagnosis levels in the following order:

1  Diagnosis  discrete 2     1  ASD     2  TD 2  age  continuous 0 3  SA  continuous 0

Will you please tell me which order I have to interpret my results according to? i.e. significant regions in Blue colour would indicate less LGI in TD relative to ASD (if I consider TD first then ASD- like the order I designed my diagnosis.levels file) BUT blue regions would mean less LGI in ASD vs. TD if I consider order my groups appear on QDEC when I upload qdec.table.dat file.

Would appreciate your reply,

Avi
