Hello, Demeaning can be considered a _specific_ instance of orthogonalisation wrt an ( implicit or explicit ) global mean. For your model, I am assuming you have a 3 EV design - global mean and two other covariates. Demeaning the two covariates makes them orthogonal to the mean, there is generally no need to orthogonalise further _unless_ you have a particular reason to attribute any joint signal to one or other of the two EVs.

Running a 1-sample t-test in randomise with 2 additional covariates of interest. If I demean the 2 covariates, does that mean they are orthogonalized to the each other and the mean effect? If not, what additional step must I include to make sure the mean effect and 2 additional covariates of interest are orthogonalized to each other?
