Hi list,

I have done an analysis using QDEC and now I would like to do set up similar 
statistical analysis in SPSS on some parcellated structures.

I have the following setup in QDEC:

2 cohorts (patients, healthy control subjects)
Continuous variable : demeaned Age
Nuisance Factor: demeaned intracranial volume
DODS

I'm interested in the effect of age i.e. "differences in the thickness-age 
correlation between the patients and healthy subjects" . Now my question is if 
I the following set up would be correct for doing the stats on slopes in SPSS:

Univariate General Linear Model
Dependent variable: ROI
Fixed Factor: group (i.e. patient or healthy control)
Covariate: demeaned age AND demeaned intracranial volume

and then I also add an interaction term of demeaned_age*group to be the 
equivalent to the difference between thickness-age correlation in patients vs. 
healthy subjects that I have in QDEC.  Is this correct?

Thanks,
Nasim
