Dear SPMers,
I'm quite a beginner and I've some basic questions about contrasts.
I've an event-related design with 3 kinds of events (A1, A2, B), each occurring the same number of times.
Given that the contrast vectors [1 0 -1] and [0 1 -1] give A1>B and A2>B, I wonder if the correct vector for testing the hypothesis (A1+A2)>B is [1 1 -1] or [1 1 -2] (which sums to zero).
I also wonder if I should use the t contrast [1 1 0] or the F contrast [1 0 0;0 1 0;0 0 0] to show the (positive) combined contribution of the two regressors A1 and A2.
Thank you,
Giovanni
