AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Janelle,

The user does not need to dummy code categorical variables because 3dMVM (and other programs such as 3dLME and 3dLMEr) dummy code them internally.

It would be better to adopt one model for all of your research hypotheses. Try something like

-bsVars "Group*FatherAge+Group* BrainVolume+Site+MEdu" \
-qVars "FatherAge,BrainVolume" \
