Dear FSL experts,
I'm experiencing two problems running PALM (on a concatenated bvars file converted to .nii) in matlab. I've attached my design.mat (.txt to send trough email), tcontrast_1vs234_int.con, and group.grp files. The palm command (5 permutations just for testing) is this:
palm-i /[path]/r.gp/1vs234_int/r.gp.nii-m /[path]/r.gp/1vs234_int/r.gp.mask.nii-o /[path]/r.gp/1vs234_int/palm-d /[path]/r.gp/1vs234_int/design.mat-t /[path]/r.gp/1vs234_int/tcontrast.con-eb /[path]/r.gp/1vs234_int/group.grp-demean-T-n 5
Problem 1:I want to know whether there is a difference between patients and controls (contrasts C1 and C2). These are not one-sample t-tests, yet PALM says only 1 permutation is possible.
Number of possible permutations is 1.Generating 1 shufflings (permutations only).Building null distribution.10% [Design 1/1, Contrast 1/10, Shuffling 1/1, Modality 1/1]
Why is this? And how can I solve it?
Problem 2:I want to know whether there is a difference between the age-slope of patients and the age-slope of controls (contrasts C9 and C10). C9 runs just fine, but strangely C10 doesn't. I get the following error:
82% [Design 1/1, Contrast 9/10, Shuffling 1/5, Modality 1/1]Saving file: /home/mrphys/lizsch/shape/data/r.gp/1vs234_int/palm_vox_tstat_c9Error using betaincX must be in the interval [0,1].

I've tried ordering them the other way around, but then C9 (that was previously C10) crashes. I've also tried taking out all other contrasts, moving them to a different folder, removing all files, starting again from scratch, etc. Nothing worked. I hope you can help me.
Thank you again, you're help is very much appreciated!
All my best,Lizanne
