I've been running into an issue while trying to analyze a dataset. I am looking at fcMRI data for two groups who differ significantly in their ages and am using age as a covariate. I can get the basic model (without GLTs) to run without errors and I can get the model to run with GLTs if I don't include the covariate in gltCode. However, any time I include the covariate in a GLT (as in the script below), the model test fails. I suspect it has something to do with the large discrepancy in variance between the two groups (group1 ages 18-22; group2 ages 18-50ish). Any help would be appreciated as I've tried everything I can think of and nothing has worked so far.


Script as follows:
3dMVM \
-prefix ACC.2GROUP_wAGE -jobs 24 \
-mask avg152.1x1x1.wm.exclusion.mask+tlrc \
-bsVars 'GROUP+age' -qVars 'age' \
-num_glt 1 \
-gltLabel 1 MRNvsPSU -gltCode 1 'GROUP : 1*MRN -1*PSU age :' \
