Follow these steps to run mris_glm for computing contrasts: In order to compute the contrats you will first need to change to the tutorial data directory and setup SUBJECTS_DIR:

Change into the directory you ran the estimation step in, most likely called 'stats':

Line 14: Line 18:
Upon successful completion of the estimation step (computed in a prior exercise), mris_glm may be configured on command line with proper options to perform contrast computation: Upon successful completion of the make_average_subject command you should have an average subject in your SUBJECTS_DIR. After successfully completing [wiki:Self:FsTutorial/CreateFsgdFile Exercise A.] and [wiki:Self:FsTutorial/CreateContrastVectors Exercise B.] you should have an FSGD file called my_gender_age.txt and a contrast file called age.mat, both in your SUBJECTS_DIR/stats directory . The following are sample commands, that can be used with the data, to complete a group analysis:
Line 17: Line 22:
mris_glm --hemi lh \
         --trgsubj average \
         --fsgd ./my_gender_age_fsgd.txt doss \
         --beta_in ./beta_doss-thickness-100lh bfloat \
         --var_in ./var_doss-thickness-100lh.w paint \
         --gcv 0 0 1 \
         --ces ./ces_Age_doss-thickness-100lh.w paint \
         --t ./t_Age_doss-thickness-100lh.w paint \
         --sigt ./sigt_Age_doss-thickness-100lh.w paint

mris_preproc --fsgd my_gender_age.txt --target average --hemi lh -- meas thickness --out lh.my_gender_age.thickness.mgh
Line 27: Line 25:


Once this completes, you can do the smoothing step:
Line 28: Line 30:
# For the right hemisphere
mris_glm --hemi rh \
         --trgsubj average \
         --fsgd ./my_gender_age_fsgd.txt doss \
         --beta_in ./beta_doss-thickness-100rh bfloat \

         --t ./t_Age_doss-thickness-100rh.w paint \
         --sigt ./sigt_Age_doss-thickness-100rh.w paint
mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --s average --sval lh.my_gender_age.thickness.mgh --fwhm 10 --tval lh.my_gender_age.thickness.10.mgh
Line 39: Line 32:
With the above configuration, mris_glm tests the given subjects for straight correlation between thickness and age. The command will read in the regression coefficients (--beta_in) and noise variance (--var_in) that were generated from the estimation process, and save the contrast effect size (ces), t-ratio of the contrast, and the significance of the t-ratio (i.e., t-test) in the same directory, all in paint format.
Line 41: Line 33:
Upon completion, make sure that the following files are available in the directory from which mris_glm was run by typing: Once this is complete, you can move on to test your contrast vector:
Line 43: Line 36:
ls -l ces_Age_doss-thickness-100lh.w
ls -l t_Age_doss-thickness-100lh.w
ls -l sigt_Age_doss-thickness-100lh.w
mri_glmfit --y lh.my_gender_age.thickness.10.mgh --fsgd my_gender_age.txt --glmdir lh.my_gender_age.glmdir --pca --surf --average lh --C age.mat
}}}
Line 47: Line 39:
ls -l ces_Age_doss-thickness-100rh.w
ls -l t_Age_doss-thickness-100rh.w
ls -l sigt_Age_doss-thickness-100rh.w
}}}
in that directory.
Line 53: Line 40:
The commands are the same for the right hemisphere, replacing every '''lh''' with an '''rh'''.

Group Analysis command lines

In order to compute the contrats you will first need to change to the tutorial data directory and setup SUBJECTS_DIR:

cd $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/buckner_data/tutorial_subjs/group_analysis_tutorial
setenv SUBJECTS_DIR ${PWD}

Change into the directory you ran the estimation step in, most likely called 'stats':

cd stats

Upon successful completion of the make_average_subject command you should have an average subject in your SUBJECTS_DIR. After successfully completing [wiki:FsTutorial/CreateFsgdFile Exercise A.] and [wiki:FsTutorial/CreateContrastVectors Exercise B.] you should have an FSGD file called my_gender_age.txt and a contrast file called age.mat, both in your SUBJECTS_DIR/stats directory . The following are sample commands, that can be used with the data, to complete a group analysis:

# For the left hemisphere

mris_preproc --fsgd my_gender_age.txt --target average --hemi lh -- meas thickness --out lh.my_gender_age.thickness.mgh

Once this completes, you can do the smoothing step:

mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --s average --sval lh.my_gender_age.thickness.mgh --fwhm 10 --tval lh.my_gender_age.thickness.10.mgh

Once this is complete, you can move on to test your contrast vector:

mri_glmfit --y lh.my_gender_age.thickness.10.mgh --fsgd my_gender_age.txt --glmdir lh.my_gender_age.glmdir --pca --surf --average lh --C age.mat

The commands are the same for the right hemisphere, replacing every lh with an rh.
