Dear list,
We have a question about the set up of the FSGD file.
We have 1 group, 2 continued covariates (age & mintues), 1 discontinued covariate (sex)
GroupDescriptorFile 1 Title G1V3 Class Main Variables Age Sex Minutes Input subject1 Main 30 0 1200 Input subject2 Main 40 1 180
My question is
1) How to enter the column "sex" in FSGD. Can I input 1 for Male and 0 for Female?
2) What would be the Main Contrast (regress out effect of sex & age)?
(Null Hypothesis: the intercept/offset is different than 0 after regressing out the effects of age and sex)
3) If I want to correlate the continued variable (minutes) with the Thickness, is it correct in this way ? :
0 0 0 1
Thanks so much
Jahanvi
