Hello,

       This is regarding my previous question.I have now modeled the design
matrix using flexible factorial, with four factors - subject, group, C1 and
C2.Since I have two groups G1 (n=18)and G2(n=15) (33 subjects in total),
and two conditions C1 and C2 (with two levels a and b), I modeled the
interactions as
Interaction 1 - Group x C1 = (G1C1a-G1C1b)- (G2C1a-G2C1b)
Interaction 2 - Group x C2 = (G1C2a-G1C2b)- (G2C2a-G2C2b)

The contrasts entered were
zeros(1,33 ) 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 -1 1 0 0 0 0  for interaction1
zeros(1,33 ) 0 0 0 0 0 0  0  0  0  0 1 -1 -1 1  for interaction 2

What will be the correct contrasts for main effects of C1 and C2?

Thanks in advance,
Sarika.
