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

Hi AFNI team,

I have within-subject resting-state fMRI data in controls (ctrl) and patients (pat, factor: group) under drug (d2) and placebo (p2, factor: cond).
There is a random effect of subject (Subj).

I am interested in brain regions that show an interaction effect of cond*group.

I have specified the following in 3dLMEr:
Quote

3dLMEr -prefix 3dLMErmodel -jobs 12 \
-model 'cond*group+(1|Subj)' \
-gltCode d2 'cond : 1*d2' \
-gltCode p2 'cond : 1*p2' \
-gltCode int 'cond : 1*d2 -1*p2 group : 1*pat -1*ctrl' \
-dataTable @dataframe_streamlined

The data table (I've abbreviated this) has the structure:
Quote

Subj cond group InputFile \
MOA101 d2 pat /home/MOA101d2+tlrc \
MOA102 d2 pat /home/MOA102d2+tlrc \
MOA301 d2 ctrl /home/MOA301d2+tlrc \
MOA302 d2 ctrl /home/MOA302d2+tlrc \
MOA101 p2 pat /home/MOA101p2+tlrc \
MOA102 p2 pat /home/MOA102p2+tlrc \
MOA301 p2 ctrl /home/MOA301p2+tlrc \
MOA302 p2 ctrl /home/MOA302p2+tlrc \

When I run the code I get as far as:
Quote

If the program hangs here for more than, for example, half an hour,
kill the process because the model specification or something else
is likely inappropriate.

Loading required package: lmerTest
Loading required package: lme4

The following object is masked from 'package:lme4':

... after which the code hangs. When I run afni_system_check.py -check_all I get the following:

* insufficient data for AFNI bootcamp
(see "Prepare for Bootcamp" on install pages)

The R version as above is 4.1.2.

I would be grateful if you have any suggestions about why the code is hanging at that point. Is it to do with the model specification, the structure of the data table, or about the version of R I have?

Many thanks,
Laith
