I see. Hence I cannot set the contrast of interaction between two covariates if I do not create the interaction term by myself, right?

Actually, the wiki page is not quite right. For a simple interaction between age and weight, you would need to create a new regressor = age*weight, then set the contrast to [0 0 0 0 0 0 1]. If you want an interaction between group, age, and weight, then you would need two new regressors, age*weight for group1 and age*weight for group2, then the contrast will be [0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1]. I would suggest demeaning both age and weight prior to computing the product.

Dear Freesurfer experts,
May I ask how to understand the contrast of interaction between covariates in the example https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Fsgdf2G2V? The interaction of group x age x weight is:
[0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1]
Why the interaction between group and weight should be put in the second row (what does each row mean in the F-contrast matrix)?
If there are three levels in the factor one (three groups), I guess the interaction of group x age x weight should be:
[0 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1]
Is this correct? If not how should I set this contrast?
In addition, if I would like to know the interaction between age and weight without group, how should I set the contrast then?
Looking forward to your kind suggestions.
Thanks and best wishes,
Lizhi
