I am running 2nd level analysis and keep getting THE following error. It seems that it is running but actually it does not. Any suggestion?

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NEWMAT::ProgramException'

Can you give any more information?

Are you certain that all of the first level analyses being used by this analysis were successful?

hERE IS THE LINE IN MY LOG FILE:

/usr/local/fsl-4.1.4-centos4_64/bin/feat_model design
> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NEWMAT::ProgramException'

1st level is fine.

Something is not right, but could not see it.

You need to provide more information (e.g., the complete output from the *.out file and the complete log from the report_log.html file).

One of your 1st levels is probably messed up...

Thank you both of you. I was trying to use a linear trend in my 2nd level analysis by adding as another EV. I decided to use a linear trend as a contrast in my design. this solved my problem.

Thank you again.

OK -- I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I would suggest reading a little more about parametric analyses, if that's what you're shooting for here.
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind05&L=FSL&P=R65640 (note that the 3rd column should be centered on zero, and you still need another regressor that models the main effect, i.e., the same regressor with all 1s in the third column)

Theoretically, you don't need to add any special EVs to the second-level (assuming you have the 3-level approach: run, subject, group).

Hope this helps,
David
