Hi there.

 

Can someone please explain to me about the contrast statement? 

For example, to test the linear/quadratic/cubic trend of a 4-level variable, the contrast statements will be

Linear -3 -1 1 3 
Quad 1 -1 -1 1 
Cubic -1 3 -3 1.

 

I just can't get my head around how it is -3 -1 1 3 for linear, 1 -1 -1 1 for quadratic and -1 3 -3 1 for cubic. I only understand they need to sum up to zero.

 

Thank you heaps.
