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

If you have stimulus classes that don't actually exist in the data, then you can hardly model them. If they do exist (even at 1 event per run), then you shouldn't have got the collinearity message you did, assuming that their responses did not lie in censored-out data and that their times were not identical or nearly identical. Did you graph the 9 columns of the X matrix to see which ones are causing the problem? A column that is all zero, or a column that is a duplicate of another, is bad news.

You have a singular value that is almost exactly 0 -- not just small. This is usually caused by input-ing no events for a stimulus class, or by input-ing identical timing for 2 stimulus classes.
