Dear FS experts,
I am trying to do a longitudinal analysis with a Repeated Measures ANOVA 2x2, with two groups (experimental and control group) and two times (pre and post treatment).
First, I have followed the Longitudinal Processing Tutorial: 1) I have 2 acquisitions per subject so, I created a subject template (BASE) for each pair of subjects 2) I created the two longitudinal runs
Now I am confused, because I don´t know wether I have to: 1) do a Longitudinal QDEC table with two columns (time and group) or 2) create a FSGD File, (or a DOSS file?) and create the contrasts.
If I have to create the FSGD file, Would this be OK?
GroupDescriptorFile 1 Class Subject 1 Class Subject 2 Variables Tp1vsTp2.Gr1Exp Tp1vsTp2.Gr2Control Input Subject1-tp1 Subject1 1 0 Input Subject1-tp2 Subject1 -1 0 Input Subject2-tp1 Subject2 0 1 Input Subject2-tp2 Subject2 0 -1
Contrasts: Mtx file: 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1 -1
Were do I have to create the FSGD file? In subjects folder or inside qdec folder? The group descriptor file must be "subject1" "subject2", or should I introduce the specific names of the folders from the subjects of my study?
Thank you in advance,
Maria.
