Hi, Randomise should output at the start of each contrast the number of permutation required for an exhaustive test - eg. "70 permutations required for exhaustive test of f-test 1" If this number doesn't match equal 840 for your contrast then we can investigate further.. Many Regards Matthew > > I think this is simply because you've got a small sample of 8 subjects and, depending on which contrast you're looking at, the number of permutations required for exhaustive test are different. > > I'm not sure though how 840 permutations are exhaustive for correlations in 8 subjects (cf end of randomise manual for counting the number of permutations).
