[FieldTrip] error in ft_mvaranalysis

[Scheeringa, R. (René)]

Dear fellow FieldTrippers,

I am planning to do granger causality analysis on human ECoG data. For this I need to first run ft_mvaranalysis (http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/connectivity). However when I do this I get an error message that the variable 'dof' variable or function is missing, so it seems like for some reason the degrees of freedom are not calculated. I wonder if there is something I am doing wrong inusing thsi function or if this is a potential bug.

The data I am trying to analyse is human ECoG of a simple visual stimulation task in which I in first instance want to compare granger-causality in stimulation versus baseline periods. Visual stimulation takes place is 1 second long starting and t=0. Below I have included the the error message and the cconfiguration settings I used. The problem occurs with the latest version of Fieldtrip (June 22nd 2016), and does not depend on whether I specify the 'biosig' or 'bsmart' toolbox. The error occurs after FieldTrip indicates it is cumputing the AR-model and is starting the

Best wishes,
