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.
