Dear experts, I am trying to compare 2 groups with 2 covariates (age, sex) using qdec. After loading data, design tab displays "diagnosis" in discrete, "age" and "sex" in both continuous (covariates) and nuisance factor boxes. I just selected "diagnosis" and click "analyze". Is this a right way

age and iq can be entered as nuisance variables, where 'nuisance' means 'controlling for'. n. On Wed, 2010-12-29 at 13:14 -0500, Gallen, Courtney (NIH/NIDA) [F] wrote: > Hi, > > > > I’m running an analysis in Qdec in which I’d like to control for 3 > variables (1 discrete (sex), 2 continuous

Hi, I'm running an analysis in Qdec in which I'd like to control for 3 variables (1 discrete (sex), 2 continuous (age and IQ)). In the output after I run the model: I only see a reference to an effect of my factor of interest controlling for sex (i.e., there is no contrast that also explicitly

And for the comparison to be appropriate, you further have to make sure that you are using the exact same main and interaction terms in SPSS as are being used in QDEC. The mere presence of interaction terms in a model can have big effects on the significance (or lack thereof) of the main effects.

Depends on some of the details. Is spss demeaning the age? If so, are you passing qdec demeaned ages? It can also be that it shows up better in the ROI analysis (ROI analyses are often more powerful than map-based). doug Dankner, Nathan (NIH/NIMH) [F] wrote: > Hi all, > > I've covaried age in a

Hi all, I've covaried age in a group difference analyses on cortical thickness data both in qdec for vertex-based and in spss for the gyral-based data. For the vertex-based data, covarying age has almost no effect, and if anything intensifies the group differences. However, when run in qdec,
