Hello fellow SPMers,

In a recent VBM analysis, I have begun receiving 'Inf' as the threshold when
performing FDR correction. I am aware that this means that there is no FDR
threshold that can control for q, the FDR value that I have set.

What I am unsure of are the implications of this, or what my next step
should be. In an exploratory manner, I attempted to use an FDR of .05, .5
and .0005. All three resulted in an 'Inf' threshold. Does this mean that I
can't use FDR on this dataset? Why would this be? Obviously FWE and ROI/SVC
are alternatives...but are these really my only alternatives?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
