Specify Contrasts / Repeated Measures Factors

Click the Contrasts for LS means button on the GLM, GRM, or ANOVA Results dialog - Comps tab (or the Specify contrasts for LS means button on the GLM, GRM, or ANOVA More Results dialog - Planned Comps tab) to display either the Specify Contrasts dialog or the Repeated Measures Factors dialog.

If you have selected the Separately for each factor option button in the Enter contrasts separately or together group box and have selected an interaction involving two between effects in the Effect drop-down box, the Specify Contrasts dialog is displayed. If you have selected the Separately for each factor option button in the Enter contrasts separately or together group box and have selected an interaction involving two within-subjects (repeated measures) effects in the Effect drop-down box, the Repeated Measures Factors dialog is displayed.

The Specify Contrasts dialog and the Repeated Measures Factors dialog are intermediate dialoges that simply display the currently specified set(s) of contrast coefficients which are listed under each factor. To change a contrast for an effect in these dialog, first click the desired factor and then enter the respective contrast coefficients in the Enter Contrasts for this Factor dialog.

Cancel	Click the Cancel button to close the dialog and return to the GLM, GRM, or ANOVA Results dialog - Comps tab, disregarding any changes made. To learn more about the logic and interpretation of contrast analysis refer to the ANOVA/MANOVA module Overview ; examples of how to specify contrasts are also discussed in that module, in the Notes section, for between-group designs as well as repeated measures designs.
