yes, they are, though you don't need to do the positive and negative contrasts because the sign is preserved doug

Hi FS experts and users, I am trying to implement independent sample t-test and correlation analysis. Here is my fsgdf design:

Contrasts for independent sample t-test: 1,CON_IA>PAT_IA:1 -1 0 0 0 0 2,PAT_IA>CON_IA:-1 1 0 0 0 0 Contrasts for correlation analysis: 1,possitive correlation analysis between pial thickness and score1:0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 2,negtive correlation analysis between pial thickness and score1:0 0 -0.5 -0.5 0 0 3,positive correlation analysis between pial thickness and score2:0 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 4,negtive correlation analysis between pial thickness and score2:0 0 0 0 -0.5 -0.5 Are my designs appropriate? If I want to implement regression analysis(i.e. dependent variable is thickness and independent variables are score1 and score2), how to design my contrast? Thanks. All the best.
