Hi,
I have a question on how to interpret a specific trend analysis summary
table. The IV has 6 levels, so I had SPSS run the analysis checking up
the 5th order trend.
There is a significant linear and quadratic trend, but not cubic.
However, after the cubic non-significant finding, the 4th and 5th order
trends are significant.
Intuitively, it seems that if there is no cubic trend of significance,
there will not be any higher order trend, but this is relatively new to
me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
