Hi - I would recommend that you work through the FSLNets practical from the FSL course - a lot of this is explained there in detail.

Here is another result, which is from the attached figure > sorted edge#1 nodes 7,4 value=0.997 > What does this mean ? Does this value mean the p-value ?? But sometimes I get values around 0.62 for some nodes; while all the components used in the analysis were above 0.99 p value threshold after benferroni correction. > > > 3.

I can understand that these clusters represents how the good components are connected to each other based on the netmats method that I have used. But if I m looking to find network differences in two groups; how should I select the best netmats results on which this cluster figure is based upon ?? > > Any help will be highly appreciated > > > Thanks a lot and best, > Qasim > > > > > > > > <jiscmail3.jpg><jiscmail.jpg> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen M.
