Can't change the number of iterations

[alexsavio]

Hi,

I am forwarding a message from a colleague who is testing many of the methods implemented here.
He told me he can't change the number of iterations for any of the methods that use this parameter. He has tried many syntactical ways to set this parameter through the command line. However PETPVC always does the default number of iterations: 10.

I could check the code, but do you have any idea about this issues?

Thank you!

Hi Alex, I just built and ran the following in the test directory with debug output: eduroam-int-dhcp-97-47-185:test bathomas$ ../bin/petpvc -i filtered.nii -m 4dmask.nii -o out10.nii.gz -p IY -x 6 -y 6 -z 6 -n 10 -d Performing iterative Yang...

For ‘petpvc’ the –n switch controls iterations. For ‘pvc_<METHOD>’ the –i switch controls iterations.

…

-k is only used for the approaches that also have deconvolutions in them. If this isn’t the problem, could you reply with some debug output? Kind regards, Ben From: "Alexandre M.

Thanks @bathomas, I will check it.

Hi @alexsavio, Any update on this?

[alexsavio]

Hi @bathomas. Sorry, yes! Everything is sorted out. My colleague was using a non-iterative method, expecting to change the number of iterations. (Don't ask :) ).
Cheers!
