I was wondering if anyone could give a bit more elaborate explanation of how contrasts are specified in 3dLME.R.
I'm stuck on the sentence on the help page that reads:
"0 means collapsing that factor or the average value for a covariate, ..."
Which refers to the line in the example:
Male*Face*0*0-Female*Face*0*0
My specific question is what is the rule for placement of the asterix and zeros here? Because for the other contrast, the example reads:
0*Male*0*Visual-0*Male*0*Audial
How does the different placement of *0 affect what the two contrasts are testing for?
Thanks,
Tim
