error when performing mixed effect analysis

Submitted by gekehe on

Hi Yan,

An error occured when I am performing mixed effect analysis using DPABI.  There are 2 groups of subjects (19 control and 19 patient) in my data and each group underwent 2 fMRI scan in 2 different times.  I chose grey matter density as covariate images and FD as txt covariates. Should I perform ANCOVA (repeat) or mixed effect analysis to see the difference between the two groups and within two patient conditions? How do I perform post-hoc analysis after mixed effect analysis since there is no post hoc analysis to cho0se in mixed effect analysis? 

Regression Calculation finished.

I downloaded the latest version again and perfomed statistics with the same data, error happpened again. The error message is as below:

Hi,

A similar error also haappened when I performed two sample t test with permutation. The version is the latest. No error occured when permutation analysis is not chosen.

Thanks for your reply. I deleted all the spaces in the path but another error happened. The error message is as below:

I doubt something wrong happend with my matlab (version 2013b) or dpabi,  the same error occured when I perform scrubbing and degree centrality.  A warning occured after I typed dpabi in command line: 

Warning: MATLAB Toolbox Path Cache is out of date and is not being used.
Type 'help toolbox_path_cache' for more info
 
When I perform scrubbing using dpabi an error ocured: 
Error using file_array/subsref>subfun (line 80)
An UndefinedFunction error was thrown on the workers for 'file2mat'.  This might
be because the file containing 'file2mat' is not accessible on the workers.  Use
addAttachedFiles(pool, files) to specify the required files to be attached.  See
the documentation for 'parallel.Pool/addAttachedFiles' for more details.
