Dear Doug, I really appreciate all your answers, and to be sure that I understood the reasoning for setting the contrast for the interaction effect.
Let's assume that we have 9 groups (two factor, with three levels each). G1-left G1-right G1-ambi G2-left G2-right G2-ambi G3-left G3-right G3-ambi [1 -1 0 -1 1 0 0 0 0]/2 [1 0 -1 -1 0 1 0 0 0]/2 [1 -1 0 0 0 0 -1 1 0]/2 [1 0 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 1]/2 However, if we have 8 groups (two factors, one of them with 4 levels) G1-male G1-female G2-male G2-female G3-male G3-female G4-male G4-female [1 -1 -1 1 0 0 0 0]/2 [1 -1 0 0 -1 1 0 0]/2 [1 -1 0 0 0 0 -1 1]/2 Is this correct?
