[Eeglablist] LIMO: Between subjects’ ANOVAs with repeated factors - Keep getting the same error "A rrays have incompatible sizes for this operation"

[Cecconi Benedetta]

Dear Cyril and Marina,

thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, that is precisely my situation indeed.

I did as you suggested but keep getting the same error.

At the first level, I have two parameters only (i.e., std and dev)
[cid:ebcb82a5-0317-4aec-9fab-58a0e8a648bf]

And it generated the beta values for CC and DC participants for the 1st level design (study_oddball_task_GLM..)
[cid:964d2bf4-f8f3-4f07-a349-0ae4c6e63be7]

For the 2nd level design, I specified the 2 groups
[cid:66d02ea5-e55c-4d2c-8749-0e258a7d955e]

When I have to input the beta file for 2nd level design (...study_2nd_level_..) for connected and disconnected group, I get the following pop-up window:
[cid:87d23143-d988-4ee1-b688-01dbad1b76b2]
I don't see Connected and Disconnected groups here in the list. Is it 3-4? I tried all possible combinations actually (to select 1 and then 2, or 3 and then 4 etc) but it keeps saying that "the number of parameter chosen (1) does not match the total number of levels (2) "

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you both very much in advance,

Benedetta Cecconi

Hello,

I've been working a bit with LIMO and I think I can help you.

>From your message, I understand that your conditions "deviant and standard stimulil" are a within-participant design. Thus, when you do the 1st-level analysis in LIMO, you must be sure that you have 3 parameters: 1. deviant; 2. standard; and 3. constant. If that is correct, then you can go to the second level.

In the second level, you put "2" for the n of groups, but then, you put "[1 2]" for the repeated factors. These "[1 2]" refers to the first two parameters of the 1st-level analysis (as we ignore the 3rd parameter at this step). This way, the program should stop telling you "the number of parameters chosen (1) does not match the total number of levels (2)".

Hope this help,
Marina

As in the study creation I had divided between the two groups, I got two beta files one for the first and one for the second group. When I try to run a Between subjects’ ANOVAs with repeated factors I input "2" for n of groups, and "2" for n of repeated factors, then I choose to input beta files. Here, it opens a window to select files and I select the first beta file for the Connected group but then I get this window:

I tried selecting 3 and then entering the beta file for the disconnected group and then when the window opens again I select the 4th beta parameter but then it says "the number of parameters chosen (1) does not match the total number of levels (2)".
