1) You don't include sex as a covariate. Include it as a class (ie,
Class Male and Class Female rather than Class Main).
2) You need to include Minutes in your null hypothesis.
3) Include minutes as a covariate as you have done, then create the
proper contrast matrix. The contrast matrix will depend on the classes
you set up

Dear list,
We have a question about the set up of the FSGD file.
We have 1 group, 2 continued covariates (age & mintues), 1
discontinued covariate (sex)
GroupDescriptorFile 1
Title G1V3
Class Main
Variables Age Sex Minutes
Input subject1 Main 30 0 1200
Input subject2 Main 40 1 180
My question is
1) How to enter the column "sex" in FSGD.
Can I input 1 for Male and 0 for Female?
2) What would be the Main Contrast (regress out effect of sex & age)?
(Null Hypothesis: the intercept/offset is different than 0 after
regressing out the effects of age and sex)
3) If I want to correlate the continued variable (minutes) with the
Thickness, is it correct in this way ? :
0 0 0 1
Thanks so much
Jahanvi
