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 Andrew,

If you mean the warnings from 1d_tool.py in the afni_proc.py script,
the "IDENTICAL", "high" and "medium" warnings are just that, warnings.
It does not know whether they are problems, but you are warned to at
least think about it.

It is basically impossible for the program to "know" whether there is
a problem.

By default, afni_procp.py gives various warnings for anything above 0.4,
as you mentioned.

---

Note that the constant polort terms are special. Ignoring any censoring,
and assuming all run lengths are the same, then the correlation between 2
constant polort (Pol#0) terms depends only on the number of runs. For
R>1 runs, r = -1/(R-1).

So for 2 runs, r = -1.0, and for 3 runs, r = -0.5. Those will both
generate warnings, but they are not important. I could take out the
warnings for such terms, but I find them educational.

In any case, do not worry about warnings for the constant terms.

Warnings for regressors of interest especially are worth thinking about.
