AFNI program: 3dANOVA3
Output of -help
This program performs three-factor ANOVA on 3D data sets.
Please also see (and consider using) AFNI's gen_group_command.py program
to construct your 3dANOVA2 command. That program helps simplify the
process of specifying your command.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Usage ~1~
3dANOVA3

and level j of factor B
and level k of factor C
. . . . . .
-dset a b c filename data set for level a of factor A

[-voxel num] screen output for voxel # num
[-diskspace] print out disk space required for
program execution
[-mask mset] use sub-brick #0 of dataset 'mset'
to define which voxels to process
The following commands generate individual AFNI 2 sub-brick datasets:
(In each case, output is written to the file with the specified
prefix file name.)
[-fa prefix] F-statistic for factor A effect
[-fb prefix] F-statistic for factor B effect
[-fc prefix] F-statistic for factor C effect
[-fab prefix] F-statistic for A*B interaction
[-fac prefix] F-statistic for A*C interaction
[-fbc prefix] F-statistic for B*C interaction
[-fabc prefix] F-statistic for A*B*C interaction
[-amean i prefix] estimate of factor A level i mean
[-bmean i prefix] estimate of factor B level i mean
[-cmean i prefix] estimate of factor C level i mean
[-xmean i j k prefix] estimate mean of cell at factor A level i,
factor B level j, factor C level k
[-adiff i j prefix] difference between factor A levels i and j
(with factors B and C collapsed)
[-bdiff i j prefix] difference between factor B levels i and j
(with factors A and C collapsed)
[-cdiff i j prefix] difference between factor C levels i and j
(with factors A and B collapsed)
[-xdiff i j k l m n prefix] difference between cell mean at A=i,B=j,
C=k, and cell mean at A=l,B=m,C=n
[-acontr c1...ca prefix] contrast in factor A levels
(with factors B and C collapsed)
[-bcontr c1...cb prefix] contrast in factor B levels
(with factors A and C collapsed)
[-ccontr c1...cc prefix] contrast in factor C levels
(with factors A and B collapsed)
[-aBcontr c1 ... ca : j prefix] 2nd order contrast in A, at fixed
B level j (collapsed across C)
[-Abcontr i : c1 ... cb prefix] 2nd order contrast in B, at fixed
A level i (collapsed across C)
[-aBdiff i_1 i_2 : j prefix] difference between levels i_1 and i_2 of
factor A, with factor B fixed at level j
[-Abdiff i : j_1 j_2 prefix] difference between levels j_1 and j_2 of
factor B, with factor A fixed at level i
[-abmean i j prefix] mean effect at factor A level i and
factor B level j
The following command generates one AFNI 'bucket' type dataset:
[-bucket prefix] create one AFNI 'bucket' dataset whose
sub-bricks are obtained by concatenating
the above output files; the output 'bucket'
is written to file with prefix file name
Modified ANOVA computation options: (December, 2005) ~1~
** These options apply to model types 4 and 5, only.
For details, see: https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/sscc/gangc/ANOVA_Mod.html
https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/afni/doc/manual/ANOVAm.pdf
[-old_method] request to perform ANOVA using the previous
functionality (requires -OK, also)
[-OK] confirm you understand that contrasts that
do not sum to zero have inflated t-stats, and
contrasts that do sum to zero assume sphericity
(to be used with -old_method)
[-assume_sph] assume sphericity (zero-sum contrasts, only)
This allows use of the old_method for
computing contrasts which sum to zero (this
includes diffs, for instance). Any contrast
that does not sum to zero is invalid, and
cannot be used with this option (such as
ameans).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Examples ~1~
(And see also AFNI's gen_group_command.py for what might is likely a
simpler method for constructing these commands.)
1) The "classic" houses/faces/donuts for 4 subjects (2 genders)
(level sets are gender (M/W), image (H/F/D), and subject)
Note: factor C is really subject within gender (since it is
nested). There are 4 subjects in this example, and 2
subjects per gender. So clevels is 2.

Notes ~1~
For this program, the user must specify 1 and only 1 sub-brick
with each -dset command. That is, if an input dataset contains
more than 1 sub-brick, a sub-brick selector must be used, e.g.:
-dset 2 4 5 'fred+orig[3]'
INPUT DATASET NAMES
-------------------
This program accepts datasets that are modified on input according to the
following schemes:
'r1+orig[3..5]' {sub-brick selector}
'r1+orig<100..200>' {sub-range selector}
'r1+orig[3..5]<100..200>' {both selectors}
'3dcalc( -a r1+orig -b r2+orig -expr 0.5*(a+b) )' {calculation}
For the gruesome details, see the output of 'afni -help'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORAGE FORMAT:
---------------
The default output format is to store the results as scaled short
(16-bit) integers. This truncantion might cause significant errors.
If you receive warnings that look like this:
*+ WARNING: TvsF[0] scale to shorts misfit = 8.09% -- *** Beware
then you can force the results to be saved in float format by
defining the environment variable AFNI_FLOATIZE to be YES
before running the program. For convenience, you can do this
on the command line, as in
3dANOVA -DAFNI_FLOATIZE=YES ... other options ...
