Dear Fieldtrip-Community, </div>
<div class="" style="border: 0px; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); caret-color: rgb(36, 36, 36);">
I was wondering what statistical test (independent-samples T or dependent-samples T) is needed to perform Cluster-based permutations in a within-UO design (e.g. 12 subjects, 2 conditions) where there are unequal counts of observations for individual subjects.
For example, a clinical observation was not able to be collected at the time of recording, rendering two groups with uneven counts of observations. Would this be subject to ‘ft_statfun_indepsamplesT’ given the uneven group counts (Condition A vs. Condition
B)?</div>

As far as I am concerned, the cfg.design matrix for depsamplesT is always balanced, hence I get an error when using uneven counts. I am unsure whether an independent samples-T test is the correct choice here. </div>
