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

The 1st row of your table doesn't look correct:

> Coef Tstat SD
> -0.1947 -0.1641 0.1186

EITHER t-statistic or SD should be 10 times bigger, OR Coef should be 10 times smaller.

The output from -sresp is the standard deviation of the coef estimate (the square root of the variance of the coef estimate), which sometimes is also called standard error of the estimate. Again the focus here is about the estimate of each coefficient, not the mean of a sample. Basically the SD column on your table can obtained by dividing Coef by Tstat.

Now you're talking about group level, which is totally different from the standard deviation (error) of the coef estimate above. Since each subject has a beta (coefficient), you can easily calculate the standard deviation at each time point across subjects for such a plot, for example using 3dMean -sd ...
