Hi - you are comparing two very different analyses that have several crucial differences between them, so I'm afraid it doesn't make too much sense to try to explain why they are different…..?
Cheers.

Hi FSL crew,

Im doing a three group comparison using a one level three factors model.
I used the one factor four levels example as my guide to create my model. So
I have right now that EV1 fits condition C (it is the only nonzero EV during
condition D). EV2 fits A relative to this, i.e. represents A-C. The F-test
then tests for any deviation - ie any difference between the levels. I also
included demeaned age, sex and handedness as covariates.

I am using randomise with the same parameters I used running Feat for the
same data-set only adding a mask. Here is the randomise settings I have been
using:


randomise -i cope1.feat/filtered_func_data.nii.gz -o
random_results_3groups_MASK-enc -d design.mat -t design.con -f design.fts -m
final_mask_WM-10mm.nii.gz -v 6 -T -V -n 100

After I have been running this I obtain different results compared to Feat
although I am using the same design matrix and contrasts. I wondered why
could that be? Also I have a question related to the output of randomise
when usig the -T option which is meant to carry out Threshold-Free Cluster
Enhancement. When I do this I obtain files with the following
characteristics:

_tfce_corrp_tstat1.nii.gz
_tfce_p_tstat1.nii.gz
_tstat1.nii.gz

I am sure the corrp_tstat files are the corrected output of my data than
then I can treshold at min 0.95 max 1 for a P<0.05. I just wanted to confirm
this and then see what the others files output is. Thank you very much for
your help as usual.

Best wishes
