[FieldTrip] Problem in ft_timelockstatistics() phase

[Irina Simanova]

Hi Sander,

The multivariate analysis module is now being re-structured, so that it will
eventually become a stand-alone toolbox - Donders Machine Learning Toolbox,
DMLT. Your error is caused by a conflict between the old and the new
versions of the functions. You should just change the way you specify the
mva method: cfg.mva = {dml.standardizer dml.svm} (check the reference to
ft_statistics_crossvalidate)
It should work then.

Best,
Irina

Subject: [FieldTrip] Problem in ft_timelockstatistics() phase

Hi,

I am trying to rework a small FieldTrip experiment I did last year
(reproduction of larger experiment done by Irina Simanova).

Calling ft_timelockstatistics() on two ERP data partitions results in an
error: "Undefined function 'fieldnames' for input arguments of type 'cell'."
I'm running FieldTrip under MATLAB R2011b 64-bit on Linux.

I see a possible cause of the problem, in that these data we pre-analysed
with ft_timelockanalysis() a year ago, or longer. I read them from parts of
the data set I was supplied with. Maybe there have been breaking changes to
this function in the meantime? The cfg struct that I pass as parameter seems
in line with the current documentation, though.

Any suggestions would be welcom!
