Error Message while running Statistical Analysis with dpabi

Submitted by crmartir on Tue, 09/16/2014 - 19:03

 Hello REST developers,

I have one doubt regarding the Statistical Analysis tool form dpabi. 

- Once preprocessed the functional data - with SPM8 - and calculated ALFF and fALFF Maps - detrended, filtered (ALFF) and extracted nuisance covariates (WM, CSF, Global and 6 Motion Parameters - Should I include the nuisance covariates in the covariates images or text covariates sections from Statistical Analysis GUI in dpabi? And if so, How can I do it?

- The last inquiry is regarding an Error message I have found when trying to run the Statistical Analysis procedure ANOVA with Repeated Measures: 

??? Error using ==> y_GroupAnalysis_Image
Too many input arguments.
 
Error in ==> y_ANCOVA1_Repeated_Image at 95
[b_OLS_brain, t_OLS_brain, ANCOVA_F, r_OLS_brain, Header] =
y_GroupAnalysis_Image(DependentVolume,Regressors,OutputName,MaskFile,CovariateVolume,Contrast,'F',0,Header);
 
Error in ==> DPABI_STAT_TOOL>ComputeButton_Callback at 501
        y_ANCOVA1_Repeated_Image(S, OutputName, MaskFile, ImageCell, TextCell);
 
Error in ==> gui_mainfcn at 96
        feval(varargin{:});
 
Error in ==> DPABI_STAT_TOOL at 42
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
 
Error in ==>
@(hObject,eventdata)DPABI_STAT_TOOL('ComputeButton_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))
 
 
??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback

And I have not found where is the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help. Any suggestion will be really appreciate.

Sincerely,

Cristian.

Usually, we don't add these covariates (WM,GS,CSF) during statistic analysis of ALFF. Some studies included the motion parameters as nuisance covariates during  statistic analysis. You could calculate a Fram-wised Displacement for each subject and list them in an txt as a covariate.  

I am not famiiar of the errors. Hope others could help.
