.fsf and .fts files are completely different. .fsf stores lots of overall design details and is not needed for randomise. -fts stores F-contrasts. Contrasts are stored in the .con file. Are you doing F-tests or t-tests? If just t-tests (ordinary contrasts) then you don't need the -f or -F options It might be worth reading parts of the FEAT manual to get a better feel for design matrices Cheers, Eugene -- On 27 January 2014 12:26, olof lindberg <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi I sent you the Amir file so that why I put it into the command else my > files have the name > > randomise -i A_Correlatin_left_HC.nii.gz -m > A_Correlatin_left_HC_mask.nii.gz -o Correlation_Amir_L_HC_AGE -d New.mat -t > New.con -f New.fsf --fonly -D -F 3 > > but I not sure I understand how you mean by -f is incorrect - is it the > contence of the .fsf file or should I just not use the -f New.fsf at all > in the command?
