I performed a one condition across two groups (G1, G2) contrast with a covariate in 3dMEMA. Using 3dinfo, I found that the t-stats for one of the groups (G2) are absent (please see 3dinfo output below at sub-brick #3) but that the t-stats for the other group and for the contrast between groups are present. When I run this analysis with a different mask or with different sub-bricks from the same Rbucket file, this problem does not consistently appear. I would appreciate any help in determining what happened to the t-stats for one group. Please response to Betty Jo Salmeron (email above) or Tom Ross regarding this question as I am in my last few days as a NIDA post-bac. Thank you!
