This automates the stages, after design type selection, of specifying group, subject, condition, replicate and covariate information by preparing a text file in advance and then telling SPM2 to read from this file. If you create a design in the standard point-click-type interface, a re-usable text file named ''design.csv'' is created in the requisite format. The utility automates the specification of factors (group, subject, condition, replicate) and covariates, and selection of the image datasets, by preparing a text file in advance and then telling SPM99 to read from this file. Alternatively, you can use the utility to create a re-usable text file named ''design.csv'' in the requisite format if you use it create a design in the standard point-click-type interface.

Automating SPM5 Analyses

SPM5 PET analyses can be automated using the CBU CSV modfications to the legacy SPM statistical design interface spm_spm_ui.m}} which is included in the {{{SPM5 distribution.

Download the file cbu_csv5_ui.m, put it somewhere in your Matlab run path, and run it from the Matlab command window:

>> cbu_csv5_ui

This utility is a modified version of the SPM5 legacy interface (spm_spm_ui.m) inherited from SPM99 and SPM2, for specifying the design and image file locations in a PET study.

The utility automates the specification of factors (group, subject, condition, replicate) and covariates, and selection of the image datasets, by preparing a text file in advance and then telling SPM99 to read from this file. Alternatively, you can use the utility to create a re-usable text file named design.csv in the requisite format if you use it create a design in the standard point-click-type interface.

I have found this facility useful for running multiple 'what if' analyses - seeing what the effect is of dropping a subject, or a condition, or adding an extra covariate, etc. etc., at the cost of a few edits to a text file.

Documentation is in CbuCsv5Details.

Let me know if you have any problems or comments.
