Hi, Right, when you run the 3rd level you'll most likely enter the 2nd level copes, which are in a .gfeat/cope#.feat/stats/cope# directory (the #'s depend on your study). The lower level feat option allows you to enter gfeat/cope#.feat and it applies your model to all the copes in the .gfeat/cope#.feat/stats/ directory. Not sure what you mean by the variance and the degrees of freedom. Perhaps you were wondering how the higher level analysis runs if you only feed in a cope? Feat will automatically find the varcope files in order to run the Flame analysis.
