Dear Boris, Volkmar, SPM

I had found your posting but this does not work for me and produces the
message invalid contrast. Just to give a bit more information on the
flexible factorial setup.

The order of factors (going down in the batch box) is subject, group,
condition. Independence is yes, yes, no. Variance is equal, unequal,
unequal.

I have specified the design by subject. For each subject in the first group
(n=9) the condition matrix is

[1 1; 1 2; 1 3] which gives [ 1  1
                              1  2
                              1  3 ]


Similarly for the second group (n=12) I used [2 1; 2 2; 2 3]

There is a main effect of subject (factor number 1)
There is an interaction of group x condition (factor numbers 2 3)

This produces the design I previously attached which has 21 columns for the
subject effects (each with 3 rows), 3 columns of group 1 x condition and 3
columns of group 2 x condition.

Entering a contrast of 2*1/9*ones(1,9) 2*1/12*ones(1,12) 1 1 1 -1 -1 -1   is
invalid
I've also tried substituting 3 for the 2 above, 2/3 and 3/2 or leaving off
the 2 entirely. All are invalid. 

The contrasts zeros(1,21) 1 -1 0 1 -1 0    or zeros(1,21) 1 0 -1 -1 0 1
are valid.

------------------------
Have I set this up differently than you did?

When accounting for the subject means why is there a factor of 2 included?

------------------------

As a separate but related question for flexible factorial designs, how does
one use the repl condition?
