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.

Hello again,

         I just would like to mention that i have two levels for each condition as well.So C1 has two levels (C1a,C1b), and C2 (C2a,C2b) has two levels, in addition to the two groups.

thanks.

Hello SPMers,

             I have two groups of subjects (G1, G2) and want to look at the effect of two conditions(C1,C2) and respective group x condition (G1C1,G1C2,G2C1,G2C2) interactions.What is the best method to model this? Will it be valid if I model both groups together using flexible factorial? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
