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

Do I gain any new information by calculating both F and T statistics? In other words, if I merely want to be able to threshold voxels based on p-values, will both statistics suffice equivalently?

Basically with -fout option 3dDeconvolve spills out F for the regression coefficients, contrast tests, and full model. With -tout option 3dDeconvolve generates t for all the baseline coefficients, regression coefficients, and contrast tests.

If you are not interested in checking the full model, the F values are pretty much redundant, and in fact they provide less information than t values since F is just the square of t in these cases, plus with F you lose the information of the direction of changes. So you can just simply run 3dDeconvolve with -tout without the F values if the full model testing is not your concern and if you want to save some space both in hard drive and in AFNI drop-out menu.
