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

A quick analysis of your matrix with 1dsvd shows the following:

## All columns
1dsvd -sing MORLt.xmat.1D'[0..21]'
5078.97 2945.73 1219.04 1182.69 13.5987 10.9621 8.82185 7.50282 6.94958 6.37279 5.71455 5.48894 5.13468 5.03891 4.75331 4.62657 4.39386 4.09438 3.83136 3.74365 3.23214 0.000405762

## Eliminate the last regressor
1dsvd -sing MORLt.xmat.1D'[0..20]'
3008.18 2945.55 1188.49 1182.6 13.5986 10.9621 8.82184 7.50281 6.94958 6.37278 5.71455 5.48893 5.13468 5.0389 4.75331 4.62657 4.39386 4.09438 3.83136 3.74365 3.23213

Removal of the last 'sum' regressor removes the problem, as evidenced by the smallest (last) singular value in each case: a difference of nearly 4 orders of magnitude.

The problem isn't so much the relatively sparse 'silent' times as the fact that the 5th regressor is almost exactly the sum of the first 4 -- it's impossible to tell the combined effects of the first 4 from the 5th.

Your "sanity" check will be the Full F statistic for the 4 regressors, which will tell you if there is any significance in any linear combination of these regressors.
